Nadia and Family, We were very shocked and saddened to hear of Danny's passing. We have many fond memories of working with Danny; his humor, quick wit and kindness and compassion. We know his passing will leave a huge void in your lives. Think back on all of your fond memories and cherish them forever.
Nadia and Family, My deepest condolences on Danny's passing. I had the pleasure as District Manager of knowing and working with Danny for many years prior to my retirement. Danny was very dedicated and well respected. My wife and I had the pleasure of meeting you Nadia with Danny many many years ago at a fundraising dance where Danny took great pleasure in cheering me on for Karaoke but I couldn't convince him to take the mic. to belt out a few of his own tunes. May all the memories you have bring you solace.
Dearest Nad, Michael, Danielle and Julie, I am so saddened and deeply sorrowful at your loss. Danny was a lovely man with a wonderful sense of humor; he will be missed by so many...
Nadia, it's been just over 41 years since we met (Western staff Christmas party, Dec. 21, 1974). Barbara and I were there for your wedding, birthday parties for your children, moving, house parties, camping and so many little events that friends share. I will deeply miss simply that Danny is no longer dependably just around the corner. My sorrow cannot come close to matching yours or Mike, Danielle and Julie. Please remember that while you can no longer share his time here, he has gone to the most wonderful place you could hope for. God wanted him back. I'd like to think that he is setting up the liquor store for me when I get there. See ya someday, Danny.
Dear Nadia, Michael,Danielle and Julie. I Will remember Danny with love and respect.... We had so many great times together growing up.

Nadia, Mike, Danielle and Julie: I feel a deep sadness hearing of Danny's passing. He was a kind caring friend and neighbor for 30 years. I will never forget his kindness 10 years ago when Herb passed away. May your special memories help you cope with your loss. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. Love Kay
Nadia and family, I am so sad to hear of Danny's passing. He was a lovely sweet man and always willing to have a conversation. He always asked about my 2 children, Matthew & Amy which was so much appreciated. He talked of how proud he was of his own children and excited about the grandchildren. We were neighbours for a short time but always took a minute to stop and chat at my new house when he was walking to work. My heart goes out to the entire family. He will be missed.
Dear Mike & Jackie We were deeply saddened to hear of your dad's passing. Our heartfelt condolences to you and your family. May his memory be eternal.
Nadia – My heart goes out to you and your family during this difficult time. Hold onto the memories in your heart forever. I ran into Danny at the No Frills close to your house in the fall. As always Danny had the largest smile and ask me all about Brian and the kids. When he talked about his grandkids he was just beaming with pride! Love Jacqui Ostrom
Nadia, Mike and Jackie...I was so sorry when Simon told me of Danny's passing. I have fond memories of the times when Danny and I would watch the kid's ball hockey games at Western and when we would chat when he was at work. He will be greatly missed but you will always have such fond memories of him.
Mike, Jackie & Family: We are so sorry to hear of the loss of your father. We are thinking of you and your family at this time. We hope that the positive memories you have of your Dad will always bring you comfort.
I had the Privilege of working with Mr Barr in the early 90's. Alsways remember our talks during our breaks at the LCBO. TEN years later I would meet Mike on Wednesday nights at Medway playing hockey. What a small world indeed. Our thoughts are with you and your family. Steve
Dear Nadia and Family, Donna and I wish to pass on our deepest sympathies at this time with the passing of Danny. Donna enjoyed talking with Danny and yourself at the office over many years while I had the great pleasure of working with Danny at the LCBO. Also having played many a round of golf with him at my side this past yeay, our weekly foursome at the course will never be the same.
Dear Nadia, Mike, Danielle, Julia and families, Steve and I wish to express our most sincere condolences to all of you. We were shocked to read the news this morning that you had lost Danny. We have not seen him since we moved to Sarnia nearly three years ago, but his infectious smile will always be remembered Nadia, I will never forget your delightful story about how you "met Danny at the university," nor how genuinely happy and strong your family was. That wonderful bond will help each of you through this dreadful time in your lives. Keep his memory strong. You are all in my prayers this day, Mavis
Dear Barr Family - My deepest sympathy at this difficult time. It's been a long time since I've seen you but I will always remember your family's kindness and the good times we shared at the ball diamonds all those years ago. My thoughts are with all of you - so very sorry for your loss.
