Condolences
Barry was my principal at ST,ANNES school, He always was kind and I will always remember his smile and the twinkle in his eyes.When i grew up I also worked at ST,ANNES 33yrs,Manny times going in his office Iwould think about him and it would make me smiile remembering him,I ran in to him a few times after he retired and he still knew my name wow . Heaven now has a new angel he will never be forgotten.Sending my deepest sympathy Denise Lapp.
Donna and family, how saddened Mario and I were to read of Barry's death; Fr. Bill S. had just mentioned to me a few days earlier of his illness.
Barry was such a wonderful support to me as an RCIA sponsor those many years ago when I coordinated the program.
He remained a valued friend, always having time to chat about family and share wisecracks before and after 7:45 mass.
He was also a natural teacher, born rather than taught, a delineation we could never quite agree upon.
God bless his soul and God bless you. Our sincere sympathy; he will always remain in my prayers.

Sincere condolences on the passing of Barry and my thoughts and prayers are with you at this time of loss.
I remember well Barry's smile, sense of humor, his work ethic, and objective advice. He was a mentor and role model for me as a young man, when he and I worked together for the City of Calgary Parks Dept., in the late 50's/early60's.
These same attributes helped many others through his lengthy career as a teacher and principal.
He was a fine man and he will be missed.

My so dear Barry, teacher and principal. You are such a wonderful soul. So kind and helpful. I wonder how you could always be so calm with all of our wants and needs.
Barry was my principal located out of St Leo when I was teaching summer and night school and it all worked. Barry no doubt was the person managing all the ins and outs behind the scenes that I never really knew about until after I thought about it. This was in the 1990's. Although Barry and I moved on in the educational field and we lost contact, he made a lasting impression on me as a teacher. For this I am very grateful to Barry.
My most fondest memories of Barry are playing around in my head in this his time of passing.
Thank you so much Barry for all you have done for me and for the great person you have been.
My heartfelt regards to all of the members of Barry's family.

Wanted to send my condolences to the family. I remember Jocelyn and I spending time at the house when I first moved into Parkland. He was working in the garage and the house always had activity. Thanks Mr. Wilson for always having a smile and a chuckle. Prayers to all of you at this time.

Dear Donna & Family, Mr. Wilson is in my prayers and my deepest condolences to all of you. Mr. Wilson taught me junior-high social studies at St. Anne. He was always a positive influence on the staff and the students. His dedication and enthusiasm was infectious. Then, when I became a teacher, it was a pleasure working with him at Father Lacombe. Barry was the vice principal there for several years. May God bless Barry, and may He welcome him into His Kingdom.
Dear Donna and Family: I was so saddened to hear of Barry’s passing Barry was always so positive, kind, funny and he truly cared for all his students ,fellow teachers and friends. My Dad treasured his friendship and I benefitted growing up having both of you in my life. God bless.
Dear Donna, I am sending my deepest and heartfelt condolences to you and your family. Barry was an extremely kind man and a great friend to my Dad. May the love from family and friends give you some comfort in these difficult days. Love and prayers from Hilary and Dave Tugwood
Dear Donna and Family,
Claude and I were saddened as we read the obituary for Barry this morning.
Barry always was so friendly, kind, wonderful sense of humor & a bright smile.
We got to know Barry through our mutual friends, Peter and Mary, plus through St. Bonaventure Parish. He was so dedicated to his job of ushering at the 7:45 Mass, where we shared a few laughs,( before/after Mass), not during!
Our sincere condolences to all of you.
Barry is now in the loving arms of Our Lord.
Maybe having a pint with Peter!!
Love and Prayers,
Claude and Lynn Revering
TO THE FAMILY OF Barry Wilson; please accept my heartfelt condolences. Barry was a man who was full of life, a man with a generous smile & time for everyone. I first met him when he was principal at St. Cyril & then he went to the high school scene where I had the opportunity to work with him at principals' council, parent council, etc. He was always polite, well prepared and truly a very good educator, He will be missed by many. Keep him close to your hearts and in your memories.
