As requested, no service will be held. If desired, donations in memory of Barney can be made to the Alberta Lung Association.
So sorry to hear of the passing of Barney. Though I haven’t seen him fo many years, my memories of him are fond. We were cousins and he was always a kind gentle fellow. My deepest sympathies to Sharon and the family at this sad time.
