Barry Douglas Phillips

July 18, 1949 - August 31, 2012

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved husband, father and brother Barry Phillips on August 31, 2012.

Barry was predeceased by his father Doug, his mother Eileen and his sister Lori.

Barry will be missed by his family and friends. He is survived by his much-loved children Kelly (Teresa) and Kassy (Christopher), his wife Debbie and his brother Rick (Marlene).

Barry was born in Winnipeg and attended school at Glenwood, Glenlawn Collegiate, Red River Community College and later the University of Manitoba. His varied working career included working as a RIA at Thorn Gun Ridell accounting firm, Phillips Acoustics (his father's firm), Consortium Contractors (his own firm), and later at the Addictions Foundation of Manitoba. Barry was kept busy working, raising his family and renovating his home on Wolseley Avenue and cottage in Grand Marais. Barry enjoyed many things in life including cooking, walking his much loved dog Wolseley, bike riding, boating, reading, watching movies, trips to the states and Tim Horton's coffee. Among his many passions, he loved most spending time at the cottage in Grand Marais with family and friends.

The family would like to extend a heartfelt thank-you to the staff at the Convalescent Home of Winnipeg. They provided Barry with wonderful care over the years and were unbelievably kind, caring and supportive to our family over the last several weeks.

A memorial service will take place, Friday, September 7, 2012 at 2:00 p.m., at Thomson In The Park Funeral Home, 1291 McGillivary Blvd.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Parkinson Society of Manitoba.
