Other family includes his aunts Doreen McNichol, Ruth Lawrence and Edna McNichol all of Calgary, Merle Hagen of Victoria and many cousins.

Barrie bravely suffered the effects of Multiple Sclerosis for over 25 years. The last 4 years Barrie was lovingly cared for by the ladies of Harmony Care Homes of Red Deer. We are deeply grateful for the compassionate and exemplary care he received there.
Barrie grew up in Calgary and moved to Red Deer where he was a successful carpenter, real estate broker, agent and owner of home building company Briar Oak Developments. The Falls, in Red Deer was his last project before being confined to a wheelchair. His true passion, after Kathryn was golf. He could be found at the Red Deer Golf and Country Club, his second home.
