Barry joined the Royal Canadian Armed Forces in 1967 as a Vehicle Technician with the Mechanical Engineers. After his first of two tours to Germany, Barry was posted to CFB Greenwood, NS, where he met and married the love of his life Valerie Jean Young. Shortly after they married, Barry was posted to Petawawa ON, and then it was back to Germany, where daughter Shannon Dawn and son Christopher Lee were born.

Barry was also posted to CFB Winnipeg, MB and CFB Shelburne, NS, before his final posting to CFB Gagetown, NB. Once retired, Barry and Valerie moved to Nictaux, NS, where they bought their retirement home however, Barry wasn't one to sit still, after retirement he continued to work as a mechanic and later, logged out in the woods.

Barry was a friend of Bill W. and was in dedicated service for 42 years, until his passing. Barry was also a member of the Veterans UN-NATO Canada, Fundy Shore Region.

He was always ready and willing to help, whenever and wherever he could, a jack of all trades, a great mechanic, he could fix anything from a tank to a kiddie cart and guaranteed to have the tool you need.
