He struggled greatly in life with the debilitating disease of bipolar disorder which ultimately had a tragic impact on his life. In spite of his challenges, Barry had a zest for a number of things including his cats, photography, poetry and painting. He also had a great passion for his Toronto Maple Leafs Go Leafs Go. He will be deeply missed by all those who loved him as a son, brother, uncle and friend. Good bye Barry, until we meet again.
