Death notice for the town of: Orangeville, Province: Ontario
Dear Beth. I am so sad to hear about Barry’s passing. My condolences to you, Trevor and the rest of the family. I was so happy to have re-connected with you two at the Dom-Peg reunion a few years ago. We had some good times together a long time ago. Memories that I treasure. The road ahead will be bumpy but will improve with time. Take care. Sincerely, Janet
