Barry was a longtime employee of Canada Post, where he enjoyed 31 years of delivering mail in Orillia. Talking to his customers and always having fun with his co-workers. His outgoing personality and easy ability to strike up a conversation lasted until his final days. He devoted his life to his 3 girls, Barb, Becky and Brett. Later came son in laws and he loved them as his own. The grandkids also had a special place in his heart. He was extremely proud of his grandkids…they were his whole world. He would jump to attend hockey practice, ballet recitals, karate classes or drop offs at friends houses.
