Barry James Cooper

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Barry James Cooper on Wednesday June 21st, 2023 at Lakeridge Health Hospital in his 75th year. Barry was predeceased by his parents Elizabeth and Stanley, brother Bill and sister Jean. He is survived by his wife Stella of 47 years, his daughter Stacey (Matt) and son Bryan, brothers Paul and Michael, nieces and nephews.

Barry was born in London, England and moved to Canada in 1976. He was an electrician and retired from G.M. after 30 years. He had a great work ethic and was always there for his family and friends to help out whenever needed. He had a dry British sense of humour, with a kind and generous heart. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him. A special thanks to all the doctors and nurses in the emergency department on G wing, 5th floor, and in the cancer centre for all their support and care given. Also to the fire department and ambulance crew. A special thanks to Dr. Graham, Dr. Yeung, Dr. Morton and Laurie for their kindness and empathic professionalism.

Visitation will be held at the Oshawa Funeral Home, 847 King Street West on Monday June 26th from 12:30 p.m. until time of funeral service in the chapel at 1:30 p.m.
