Barrie Hubert Beech

October 6, 2020

February 7, 1939 to October 6, 2020

It is with deep sadness that we share the passing of Barrie Hubert Beech in his 82nd year.

Barrie was many things, to many people.  He shared his expertise, knowledge and experiences with all those that asked, in both business and in personal matters.  He was an entrepreneur and was always willing to lend a helping hand and became a mentor to many.

Barrie lived a full and generous life, and enriched the lives of those he left behind.

Predeceased by his parents Hubert and Elaine Beech, his son Rick and his brother Glenn.  Survived by his partner of many years Cathleen (Cathy) Davison, his two sisters Gloria and Sally, his children Rob, Wendy, Kim and Mark, and his many cousins in the United States and Ontario.

A funeral service will be conducted at WESTVIEW FUNERAL CHAPEL, 709 Wonderland Road North, London, on Tuesday, October 13, 2020 at 10:00 a.m.  Private interment will be held at Strathroy Municipal Cemetery.  Registration is required to attend the funeral service at Westview Funeral Chapel.

To Barrie's family. So very sorry for your loss. Barrie was our "go to" man for mowers and snow blowers. Always enjoyed our visits with him, a million laughs. The world has lost another great one. May he sincerely rest in peace.

to the Beech family my sincere sympathy for your loss. It has been so many years since I have seen anyone but I think of your family often. I have many great memories of times spent with Sally at your home. The many hours spent snowmobiling in the big field , rides to the races and just hanging out together. I was always welcomed and treated very well.
