Well, Barry, we shared a lot of laughs old buddy . We worked together, we rode the rails together, we took a chance and hustled our way to Alberta around the same time and ultimately we returned and brought hundreds and hundreds of friends and old Bay Byes together in our efforts to reflect on our best days in our beloved GlaceBay. Our concerted efforts to make the FenceFolks Reunion in 2010 a celebration of all our lives was a huge success and your partnership was one of the elements that made it so magical. Just weeks ago we had our last chat at “The Office” , you, me and Priscilla. We covered a lot of ground that day. Priscilla laughed all throughout and was in awe of the stories that day. We did not know Barry that conversation was going to be our last one, but , my friend, it was fitting that we shared those moments with you such a short time ago. As well Old Buddy, I think we captured the True Barry Bisson in the picture posted today in your last words to all of your friends and comrades. As we did on that night of the Reunion ,when we sat out on the side step of the Parish Center, I will take the last puff in your honour my friend. Rest now with your beloved St.Linda . We will always remember your wit, wisdom, and friendship….Yours truly, Joey, Priscilla, Lindsay,and Alison.
