Guest Book

David Howick - Moose Jaw, SK: On behalf of my mother, a resident across the hall from Barry at Chateau St. Michael, our deepest sympathy to his family and those dear to him at the home (especially Della and Diane).

Anna Kwasnica - Moose Jaw, SK:  Barry was a wonderful, brilliant man; and someone that I considered a true friend. He will be missed by all that knew him.

John Murakami - Ottawa/Ontario: Our family knew the Dexter family from the 1950s when my father Philip worked for Frank as a carpenter, and I was fortunate to work with Barry one summer as a student. We always kept up the thread of contact over the years - a visit back to Moose Jaw always meant a short visit with Frank at his last home overlooking Tech High School, and then seeing Barry at his various locations including at St. Michael's. My mother, Martha, had nothing but good to say about the Dexter family, and she used to try to send her magazines over to Barry when she was done with them - they both enjoyed saving their pennies. To Barry's sisters and families, the deepest condolences from the Murakami family.
