BC spent his life embracing the simple joys of the great outdoors. He was known as an avid outdoors man who found peace in the wilderness. Whether he was setting up camp, tending to his garden, or patiently waiting for a bite while fishing, he was always at home in nature.
A true outdoorsman and a master wing-shooter. Barry had an exceptional passion for duck and pheasant hunting. He made many memories of crisp mornings in the field or blind, sharing these adventures with his hunting buddies and his loyal canine companions. When he wasn’t outside, he was applying his steady hands and remarkable patience to woodworking. Above all, BC was a gentleman defined by his boundless compassion. His deepest joy in life came from his family. He loved his wife, children and especially his grandchildren.
