The news about Barry is so very sad and difficult to come to terms with. To lose the presence with such stature as a guy like him is hard to comprehend. My sincere condolences go out to all those within his Family circle and of Friends. After having the opportunity to observe him perform at his profession while attending the many Gordon Lightfoot concerts, it wasn't difficult to figure out that this man had a gift. He always treated everyone with dignity and respect while at the same time ensuring that the show came off flawless and the job was done effectively from beginning to end. When Gord walked out on the stage to do his show I always took note of just how comfortable he looked and how that feeling reflected back onto the audience immediately. That kind of magic would not happen without the skill of an astute manager who for twenty six years dealt with the most difficult situations with the effectiveness of an ultimate professional. Sincerely, Ron Jones
