Alvin “Barry” Edgar

My sincere condolences to Penny and all the family. I am so sorry for your loss. May meaningful memories bring you comfort and peace.

Dear Penny and family, I’m so very sorry for your loss. Barry’s warmth, humour, and genuine kindness brought such joy through his friendship with my mom, Sharon, and Gerry. His care and support extended beyond them — touching me and my sisters as well. I’ll always remember his thoughtful spirit, like the time he wore one of my Mom’s head coverings on their trip to Florida to help her feel more comfortable, and how beautifully he honoured her life as emcee at her celebration. His sincerity and compassion will be remembered with deep gratitude. Janet Brown (Sharon Drover’s daughter)

My deepest condolences to the Edgar family. I worked with Barry for a number of years at STAP ... He always always brought a smile to my face .... made the day seem that much easier for all who talked to him throughout the day. Rest I peace my friend

Barry wasn’t just a family friend — he was a part of our family. Every summer at the cottage with him is etched in our hearts: the sound of his laughter, the calm way he told stories, the quiet wisdom that seemed to sit in his eyes. He had that rare gift of making everyone feel at home, of turning simple days into cherished memories. For my brothers and me, Barry was like a grandfather we were lucky enough to choose. He taught us how to slow down, how to enjoy the lake breeze, how to find joy in small things — a good meal, a bad joke, a beautiful sunset. Though he’s gone, the lessons and love he gave us live on in every memory, every shared laugh, every summer that reminds us of him. Barry’s kindness, warmth, and steady presence will be deeply missed, but never forgotten. Thank you, Barry, for being part of our lives. We’ll carry your spirit with us — always.

Dear Grandpa, My Mr. Wonderful, To the man I look up to with strength and compassion, to the man who taught me life on a lake.. I’m sorry I didn’t get to say any sort of goodbyes. I’m going to think about it for the rest of my life. But I also figured you wanted nothing to do with me given the circumstances within my home. I’m sorry you fought that cancer so long and so hard, though I have some ease knowing you no longer are suffering that battle. There’s lots I wish I could’ve changed within the past few years, but some things are just simply out of our control. Grandpa you taught me so many things. I thank you for all of it. I thank you for taking me out boating, teaching me to fish with Dad, showing me all the special places that Restoule holds, giving me guidance and support, showing me how you never took anyone’s shit for granted. I thank you for allowing me to do your hair and paint your nails all sorts of colours, though most importantly I thank you for taking me up to the apartment above the garage and teaching me how to sing while we did karaoke. Grandpa something you never knew is that I sing everyday to let out my emotions. I sing everyday to feel better. You taught me that. and I’ll never be able to repay you. I truly hope one day I can make my own music in honour of your life. I also wanted to let you know you got me hooked on fords, I bought my first vehicle, you best bet it’s an F-250, and I’m sorry you weren’t able to see it before you left us. I know you would’ve been so proud. Like always, I can’t think of a time you haven’t been a proud Grandpa. I wish you could be here to ask me again if i’m laughing or crying. Because everytime that came out of your mouth you made me giggle. Your ear to ear smile and random jokes will forever be missed. Thank you for being the type of Grandpa that any little girl would wish for, I’m sorry we didn’t get to spend more time together. Rest easy Grandpa, and never doubt for a second that your precious little Lucy loves and misses you.
