We are so shocked and saddened to learn of Barry's passing, and extend to you Gill our very deepest sympathy. Great memories of you both whilst in Nelson and your generous contribution to the community through Lions and the Nelson Cathedral. Trees & shrubs planted on the banks of the Maitai adjacent to the Trafalgar St bridge was instigated by Barry.

My heart is breaking for you, Gill. I am so grateful you both came to Washington State to meet me after 40 years of friendship! We had so much fun and created a lifetime of memories in 2 days. Here is a picture of the three of us. The only one I have. May angels watch over you. I love you.
