I remember Barry’s smile and happiness – it was contagious. When I started at C&SS Front Street, the computer room was a daunting entity and my first “block time” – and many more after that – were fun, because Barry was so kind and helpful and often gave me words of encouragement and assisted me with some troubleshooting too! My sincere condolences to Barry’s family.

It was a pleasure to work with Barry at 151 Front Street. So sad that several of the 151 Front Street gang have already left us. My condolences to his family.

He was such an inspiration, a beautiful spirit, fun loving and a strong member of the team at 151 Front St. Who could forget that warm smile and that great sense of humour? He was special in so many ways. I extend my condolences to his family... may treasured memories of Barry stay with you and keep him always in your hearts, never forgotten.

My sincere condolences to Barry's family. I worked many shifts in the Air Canada computer room with Barry. He was always fun to be with and always had some witty remark to make you feel part of the team. I was so pleased when Barry accepted my invitation to participate in my Wedding in Baltimore Maryland as one of my groomsmen. I will always remember all my Air Canada friends that traveled south of the border to celebrate my wedding day. Barry you were one of a kind and I will truly miss you. Rest in Peace my friend.

Reading the words of those who worked at 151 Front St., it is obvious that we all felt the same way about Barry. Barry made our office a better place to work. If you went to Barry with a work related issue there was always a positive response; sometimes it may have been received with a wry comment. You walked away knowing that the issue would be dealt with. You also walked away with a smile on your face. Barry always had a witty comment and a look to go with it.

Having worked for Barry a number of years I can say he was a good friend and a joy to work for. Good days or bad, Barry was always there for you. Kind and loyal, he never let you down. Always trying to make things better for everyone. You always knew Barry loved and was very proud of his family. You will be sadly missed Barry Phillips

I really didn’t know Barry until he transferred to Montreal but quickly realized he was a knowledgeable and reliable person to get straight answers and get things done. He had such a nice manner and was a pleasure to deal with. However, my most enduring memory was of him dressed as the pope on Halloween dress-up at work. As they say, he was straight from central casting. Gone too soon, my condolences.

151 Front St. was a better place because Barry was there. A true gentleman with a wicked wit, quiet presence and unfailing support. Sorry Tim Mallory but I remember the saying as “ said the Bishop to the nun”. (I use it often). Vic and send our condolences to the whole family. Barry was ‘one in a million’ and will be remembered fondly by all. With love, Leslie & Vic

Barry was such an upbeat, kind and considerate person. He was a pleasure to work with and to be around. Always a positive force and a great sense of humour with kind of an impish smile. I also remember him as stabilizing force in the office. Rest in peace Barry.

Working with and knowing Barry was a true pleasure. During our days together at 151 Front Street, Barry was always a calming factor when problems occurred. He had a tremendous balance of professionalism, wit and humour. Barry's favouite expression... "Said the Bishop to the Priest". May he rest in peace. Tim Mallory

I remember those 3am calls when the arrival/departure screens would go down...FIDS. Barry was always so apologetic for calling. I also think that he was the one who taught me how to shoot...with deadly accuracy....rubber bands....while we were waiting for systems to come back up and keeping our fingers crossed! We had a lot of fun. And Barry was a big part of it. Rest In Peace...

My sincerest condolences to Barry's family at this time of great loss. I worked with Barry in Computer & Systems Services of Air Canada at 151 Front St. in Toronto. He was a true professional who always had time to answer my questions and add some humour at the same time. He will be missed by so many, but the memories he leaves behind will live on forever.

My condolences to Barry's family and friends. I have fond memories of travelling by train with Cheryl to visit our older siblings, Barry in Stoney Creek and Mary in Burlington. We must have been about 15 and felt pretty grown up. Barry was always great fun. I bet he was a wonderful big brother. Fondly, Joan George
