So Long my cousin. Although our time together was short it will always be with me. We'll meet again on Gods golden shore. Greg Kenning

My deepest symphathy.  Barry was always such a sweet person.  Our thoughts and prayers are with you.  Love Aunt Joyce and family

Robyn and Caleigh, We have many fond memories of Barry coaching our Peninsula soccer girls.  He was always so positive and encouraging.  We are so sorry for your loss and our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Barry was a classmate of mine for all 12 years of grade school.  Besides getting into trouble together in class, we also spent countless hours playing various sports together in the neighborhood.  He was loyal, fun-loving, mischievous and - looking back - one of the best pals I ever had. My deepest condolences to his family.

Robyn and Caleigh my thoughts and prayers go out to you.  I have just spent the last few minutes getting to know Barry better by reading all the lovely comments. I was saddened to hear of his passing.  He has gone home to be with our Lord Jesus.

We truly have lost one of the best, my thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

Although it was more than 30 years since I'd seen Barry (largely because I'd been out of the Victoria area for most of that), he made a huge impression on me in my formative years.  From playing road hockey outside Steve Roe's house on Garnet Rd. after school almost every day, to pulling a funny prank on me on my birthday circa Gr. 5 (that ended with a wonderful new hockey stick, exactly what I wanted) to the incredibly silly movies we made in Gr. 8 (with Barry as a Roman slave in Pompeii, running from an exploding Vesvius -- a mud volcano with a vacuum cleaner filled with dirt and thrown in reverse) and a dreadful-but-incredibly-fun to make war film in Gr. 9 (with Barry as a member of a Dirty Half-Dozen or so), with Rick Aylward's dad's help (from good old Cable 10, way back in the day) -- man, he was so much fun to be around and made all of us laugh.  Life is surprisingly complicated.  Somehow we keep having to learn that lesson, over and over, as we get older.  Barry, rest in peace. Robyn and Caeligh, though you've never had the chance to meet me and my family, you are in our thoughts and prayers.

Barry was a kind, Gentle soul , many good memories playing soccer with Barry. 
Barry  you will be missed by all

Barry's warm smile and friendly manner were always day-brighteners for me.  He is sorely missed by many of us who had the privilege to know him even a little.  My heart goes out to his friends and family at this difficult time.

I love and miss you so much daddy, I hope god is taking good care of you up there <3 rest in paradise, you were the best dad in the whole wide world

It has been a true honor to have Barry as a workmate for the past 6 years.  He was one of the first drivers I met and he was instantly considered my friend.  He will be truly missed!! My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

Although I have not seen Barry in many years he truly stands out amongst the people I have had the pleasure to call my friends. His kind, genuine nature will be missed by all whose lives he touched. My thoughts and prayers are with his family. RIP my friend.

The last time I saw Barry, he was walking across the transit yard to his bus.  He looked over at me and waved and smiled.  But that was Barry, always smiling and friendly, which makes it so  difficult.  We will never forget you friend!  Sincere condolences to the family.

When your father dies, say the Irish 
you lose your umbrella against bad weather. 
May his sun be your light, say the Armenians. 
I only knew Barry a short time at BC Transit. We happen to run into him by chance at a soccer game last month. I feel privleged to have had those moments.
My heart goes out to you Robyn and Caleigh.

We will all miss Barry. Such a sad loss.We will all remember Barry at our 1978 class 35th Reunion on September 21, 3103.

RIP Barry, I will never forget your smile & sense of humour.

I am so sorry to hear this news.  Some people stand out in your memory; even after many years.  Barry was one of those people who made everyone he met smile.  Condolences to all his family and friends.  Diana Pimlott

Our deepest heartfelt sympathy goes out to Barry's family. Barry was my best friend for many years especially during our boyhood years. Though we hadn't talked in a year we always remained close buddy's. Barry was very kind and loyal to his friends. A person of integrity. He will be missed by myself and my wife. God Bless you my friend, we will meet again in heaven.

Barry could convey that he actually cared and was interested, while spicing the conversation with spectacular wit. He had a rare mix of outstanding humor and sincerity - and he would add "as well as amazing soccer skills". Bumping into Barry on the bus or around Brentwood always brightened my day.  What a great guy!

We are very saddened to hear of Barry's passing.  Robyn and Caleigh our thoughts are with you.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the Metzak family.

Take comfort in knowing that now you have a special guardian angel to watch over you.

I think I can safely say Barry was one of the funniest people I have ever met. His often surprising gift of humour will be greatly missed. Our hearts go out to Robyn and Caliegh.

I was stunned and saddened to hear about the passing of one of the closest friends from the days of my youth. Barry was one of the funniest, most affable and kind hearted people one can ever hope to call a friend. I know he will be terribly missed by his immediate family and all who knew and were fortunate to come into contact with Barry. Sincerest condolences from our family to his. RIP old friend.

Barry was a great guy always with a smile and a joke to share.He will be missed by the Greater Victoria soccer community.

Barry was a very nice man who always had a smile and a wave for me when I passed him in my bus. I will miss him

There are simply no words to adequately express my thoughts to each of you in Barry's circle. Please know you are in my thoughts, heart and prayers.

In loving memory of a kind man.  I will miss seeing you on the road Barry,  My thoughts are with your family.  xo

Barry will be remembered by all his transit peeps as the kind,warm-hearted person that he was. Always smiling and laughing.
