Barry Hickey Obituary
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Barry Irvin Peter Hickey, 74, of Jacquet River, NB peacefully at home surrounded by his family after a brief battle with cancer.
A true New Brunswicker, Barry enjoyed fishing, hunting, drives to “the lake” and spent countless evenings at his beloved cabin on the Bay of Chaleur entertaining friends and family and anyone who stopped by for a chat – or to share a cold beverage.
As for his professional life, after a brief military career, Barry owned a local restaurant and then a gas bar before a career as a Millwright first at Brunswick Smelter in Belledune and later with Local 1458 where he took great pride in his work and the lasting friendships he created with his Brothers near and far.
Barry was also a proud member of the Royal Canadian Legion Durham Branch 77 for many years, filling the role of Sargent at Arms and participating in countless dart, shuffleboard and crib games with friends.
A lover of music, Barry could always be counted on to sing or strum harmony or for the occasional harmonica solo, a good chuckle and a tall tale – and he never let the truth stand in the way of a great story.
Barry leaves to mourn his mother Monique Hickey, his daughters Jillian Labillois and Beth Hickey, grandchildren Mallory, Georgia, Claire, Louis and Juliette, brother and best friend Rae and sisters Glenda, June, Dawn and Moni-Lana, several nieces, nephews and cousins, countless friends and his sidekick Chewy. He was predeceased by his father Owen Hickey and partner Glenna Hamilton.
Memorial arrangements will be announced at a later date. In lieu of flowers, the family requests memorial tributes be directed to your local SPCA.
