He is survived by his wife Faith Johnston; mother Irene; children, Vincent, Daphne and Jason; daughter-in-law Melina Elliott; sister Diane Toffen; nephews, Christopher and Andrew and step-children, Beth and Alan Kerstetter. Barry was devoted to his family and his students. He was born in Winnipeg, attended Churchill High School and graduated from the University of Manitoba with a B.Sc., B. Ed. and Masters in Education. He taught mathematics at Fort Richmond Collegiate for many years. At the time of his death he was teaching at St. Marys Academy. Barry loved the challenges of math and was committed to communicating his own enthusiasm to his students. Barry had a tremendous zest for life. In his youth he back-packed around the world. He loved golfing, canoeing and travelling, but he particularly enjoyed being a parent. He was a kind and patient father and a loyal friend. How we will miss his energy, his optimism and his irrepressible sense of humour.
