Vivian, I’m not even sure how to tell you how sorry I am for your loss. Anthony was always so good to me, we shared many laughs over the years, many about games of hockey and whose fault it was that they lost. He truly loved the game! His friends and his family. Anthony is what the old crowd would call salt of the earth.
Yours was a life well lived… Godspeed Anthony.
Vivian, I will be thinking of you.

As alberta tourists enroute to visit the family of Leo English in Branch Rick and I noticed the amazing boats displayed in the Barry front yard. I took some pics feeling a bit like a trespasser but Barry kindly came to us and invited us to see his workshop and shared wonderful stories of his sea days
This was our first introduction to the friendly funloving hospitality of NL I can only imagine the impact this fine man had on those who knew him God bless his family and friends who now grieve his absence Rick and Louanne Hart from

Dear Vivian and the Barry Family
I had the pleasure of knowing Anthony for many years. It was just a couple of weeks ago I talked to him over the phone. Anthony loved to drop by the office just to say hello and discuss hockey and fishing.
Anthony was the complete fisherman, pursuing all species, in all weather, in every season. He had the respect of all and his name shall live on.
Sincere condolences to Vivian and the Barry family.

To Vivian and family and to Anthony's siblings please accept my condolences on Anthony's passing.
I've talked to Anthony on occasion but never really had much conversation until he built me a beautiful boat. This man was a true artist in the wooden boat building much like his Father before him. What I really liked about Anthony was his gentle tone and smile as he was telling a story or listening to one of my silly ones. The Cape Shore has lost another great Hero of the Seas and the Heavens has gained one!
RIP Mr. Anthony

Sorry to hear of Anthony’s passing. Growing up on the Cape Shore we all knew of the Barry fishermen, their love of the sea and being great providers for their families. He will surely be missed by his fellow fishermen, family, friends and the people of the Cape Shore. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during these difficult times.
Rest easy

To Vivian and All of Anthony's Family,
Our deepest condolences on the loss of Anthony. We are deeply saddened by his passing and share in your sorrow. We will miss him, as if he were a brother.
We had the privilege of building the Selina Mary for Anthony, but friendship soon overtook the business relationship.
Vivian, yours and Anthony's visits to us were looked forward to as a time of laughter and friendship, and of course the fishing and boat yarns between Anthony and myself were always the highlight of our conversation topics. Great memories.
Thinking of you Vivian and the family, now and in the difficult days ahead.
May God sustain you through this time,
All Our Love,
Wade and Moira Goulden

My deepest sympathies to Vivian and family. Anthony Barry… you just couldn’t find any better. When my sisters and I were small, we would be so excited to get to visit Anthony and Vivian’s house with Daddy and Mommy. They were always sure to have an unlimited supply of the tastiest chocolates, and they couldn’t give or do enough for you. And it was better than at any legendary concert, to listen to Anthony play his accordian for us, and entertain us with his stories. It was always a real treat to visit them, and we would honestly beg our parents to take us with. The fond memories of visiting two of the kindest and gentlest people we knew, will always warm my heart. Years later, and my respect for this gentleman has magnified. We are blessed to have known you. Rest peacefully, Skipper.

Condolences to Vivian and family. Anthony was a man who wasn’t afraid of work. When another fisherman was looking for fish he wouldn’t hesitate to point him in the right direction. Any fisherman who fished with Anthony, I am sure, is the better for it. Anthony, I am sure when St Peter takes you in his fishing boat he will feel he has made a great choice. Skipper Anthony, rest easy, in fair winds and calm seas, and may your nets be always full. Brian and Regina Barry and family.
