BARRY, William (Bill) J. October 28, 1917 - October 12, 2013. Our dad and grandpa passed away peacefully with his family at his side on October 12. He was predeceased by his wife Adeline and son William (Bud), and he is survived by his daughters, Therese (Mac), Rita (Jim), and Marcia; 7 grandchildren; 6 beautiful great-grandsons; and long- time friend Yvonne Holbrook. Our dad had a very long, rich life. He was born in Sask., served overseas in WWII, worked for Canada Post until he retired, and best of all, had a very long and healthy retirement filled with family, friends, and activities he enjoyed, especially spending time with family and meeting friends for coffee and conversation. Although not formally educated, he had great knowledge of the world and was a liberal thinker. He was an amazing role model for his children, and he was always there if anyone needed help. The family would like to thank the staff of Magnolia Gardens for the wonderful environment they provided for dad and for their never-ending respect, graciousness, and humour.
Donations in dad's memory may be made to the Crohn's & Colitis Foundation of Canada.
