Barry was born and raised in Winnipeg. He attended Lord Roberts School and Kelvin High School. His first job was as a paper carrier for the Winnipeg Free Press. In 1949 he went to work for the Canadian Pacific Railway and spent eleven years there. It was in 1950, the year of the great flood, that Barry went to England to visit relatives. It was there that Barry met his beautiful wife Angela. They wrote for four years and then Angela took a trip to Winnipeg. They became engaged in 1954 and they married in 1955. They spent 62 years together. Barry moved to Air Canada in 1960 and remained there for just under 30 years. He retired as Payroll Systems Support Manager.

Following retirement, Angela and Barry made a number of trips to British Columbia to share holidays with their daughter Natasha. They also made on last trip to London England to visit Angela’s family.
