I only knew Barrie through his light hearted repots at the Annual General Meetings of the Fort Erie Community Credit Union. As a business owner I appreciated his easy going manner and how he put the members and Credit Union staff at ease but conveyed a clear vision of where the Creit Union could head. It's unfortunate Barrie didn't have the chance to preside over the vote on amalgamation with Pen Fiancial. I will miss his humour and gentleness at the AGM's.
