Barry R. Oickle
1961-2019
Barry Roger Oickle, 58, of Upper Cornwall, passed away on March 31st
2019.
Barry was born and raised in Upper Cornwall, with his Mom, Marion
Oickle (Nauss); Dad, Franklin Oickle; and two brothers, Richard
(Dianne) Oickle and Wade (Debbie) Oickle. He was described as
mischievous in his younger years. In his teenage years, he was known
for his crazy adventures and getting himself into some funny
situations.
He married his wife, Gretchen Oickle (Wile), in 1982. They built
their house from the ground up next to the farmhouse where he grew up.
There they raised their children, Alicia, Laura, and Stephen. He was
lucky to have known his children’s spouses, Shawn McDade, Chris
MacNeil, and Emily Tanner-Oickle, and welcome five grandchildren,
Leah, Emma, Thomas, Archer McDade, and Greyson Oickle, to the family.
He had many special nieces and nephews, who would describe him as the
fun uncle. He adored his family and loved to spend time with
them.
He worked with the Dept. of Transportation for 27 years before
retiring. After he and his wife moved to Marriott’s Cove, Barry
continued to do Winter Works with the Dept. of Transportation and also
worked at All Outdoors Landscaping. He made many friends at work and
enjoyed making them laugh.
Barry will be remembered for his love of family, kind heart, good
humour, work ethic, love of the outdoors, the way he would welcome you
into his home and feed you a good meal.
We were blessed to have him and forever wouldn’t have been long
enough.
No visiting hours. A funeral service will be held 2:00 p.m.,
Thursday, April 11th 2019 in New Cornwall Baptist Church, 2222
Cornwall Road, Middle New Cornwall. Reception to follow.
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the Mental
