Barry graduated from the University of Saskatchewan with a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine in 1973, opening a large animal private practice in Dinsmore and Rosetown Sask. After several years and many, many field births, in all weathers, he closed his practice due to health and went to work for Agriculture and Agri Food Canada in Saskatchewan and subsequently Manitoba.
After retirement Barry was approached to teach a program for veterinary assistants at Robertson College, where he gained the respect of more than a few students & staff.
After his move back to Winnipeg, Barry connected with his high school crush, and they were married in August of 2003. Like the couple in a favourite tv program, ‘As Time Goes By’, Marilyn and Barry enjoyed 21 years together along with their beloved dogs, Jackson, Jaxc and Emma.
