Aged 78 years. Passed away peacefully in Byford WA, formerly of Nambrok. Much loved husband of Vida and loving father to sons David, Andrew and Brendan. Grandfather to Ollie, Harry, Piper, William and Isla.

He married Vida in 1969 and then moved to Sale in 1973 where he worked as an engineer with Telecom.

In 1982 when all engineer roles with Telecom were mo vi ng back to Melbourne, Barry made the big decision to switch to dairy farming in Nambrok as ameans to maintain the country lifestyle that he enjoyed greatly and wanted to continue for his three young sons. In about 2007 Barry finished milking and sold the majority of his farm but kept the house lot where Barry and Vida quietly lived out their retirement until recently. Throughout his life Barry maintained his love of all things science, communications and technology and was involved in Amateur Radio (VK3SW) and also the CB community later in life. He also really enjoyed designing and building equipment to assist in "fox hunts".

Barry lived alifetime of quiet happiness with his family at his farm at Nambrok and is now at peace after declining over recent years with dementia. Forever in our hearts and memories.
