"Care-giving often calls us to lean into love we didn't know possible."

Entered into eternal rest at Dr. Walter Templeman Health Care Centre, Bell Island, Patrick Barry, age 80, originally from Curling. Predeceased by his parents, and his brother James (January 8, 2018). Left to mourn are his brother Bernard, and John and Theresa Power, his alternate family, and his home care workers of St. Bride's. Patrick, as you enter your heavenly home, and brighten the days with your special smile, there will be lots of cheesies and candy waiting for you. You came into our lives in April 2000. With adjusting to a new home your smile said it all, it brightened our days. You were a brother, a protector and a friend to all. Anyone who helped out felt the love from you, especially the home care workers who cared and loved you during the many years that they cared for you. A very special thanks to all the staff at the Dr. Walter Templeman Health Care Centre, from the cleaners, to the doctors, social worker, management and hands-on staff, for the excellent care shown to Patrick. They went above and beyond their duties to be with Patrick, especially since July, when his needs and care became more profound. How many would sit and play music and give that extra special care, not leaving your shift until you waved good-bye, and giving him a hug to make him feel safe and loved. Not many would do that, but you sure did. Words cannot express our thanks to all, but our hearts feel it. Funeral arrangements entrusted to Maher's Funeral Home, Placentia. Visitation to take place on Tuesday, October 23rd from 1-8 pm. Mass of Christian Burial to take place 10:30 am on Wednesday, October 24, 2018 at Sacred Heart Church, Placentia. Interment to follow at Dermot McGettigan Memorial Cemetery, Southeast Placentia. To leave a message of condolence, please visit www.mahersfuneralhome.ca.
