Words cannot express the loss of my mentor and friend, Barrie Jackson P.Eng. today. I first met Barrie in 2000 when he hired me to teach the TEAM program with him and we visited over coffee and email regularly since then. I will miss his sage advice and engineering stories. He was an award winner with the Canadian Council of Professional Engineers in the education category and a long time Volunteer with Professional Engineers Ontario. If you graduated from Queen's chemical engineering in the last decade then you probably had one of the best professors there. Barrie did graduate work at OISE and spent his career with Shell around the world before bestowing his engineering expertise with our lucky students. We were not worthy. Rest in Peace my dear friend and I hope there are dogs in heaven.
Marny and family - Words cannot express my thoughts on your loss. I have great memories of our good times on 6th line of Dalhousie - pig roasts, good music, tall tales and great friends to share them.
Dear Marny and family; Please accept my sincere condolences on the loss of your hubbie/father. We have had many a good memory over the years. fI am sorry I didnt get to personally express my thoughts. was out to see Marn but she was out will be by again shortly. Best wishes to all
Dear Marnie,
I was so sorry to hear of Barry's passing. Although I haven't seen you or Barry in a number of years, I would think of the two of you often and wonder how you were. My heart goes out to you and your family at this difficult time.
I've got over fifty years of memories of Barrie. Besides being a family friend, he was my Akela (Cubmaster). Many years at the Church of The Ascension, followed by good times at the Loretto Ski Club. Barrie was always an integral part of any gathering. My thoughts are with the Jackson family at this time.
Barrie and I first worked together for Shell in Toronto in the early 1970's followed by an assignment with Shell in The Hague. I have fond memories of the time we spent together.
Condolences to Marny and the family
Sincerely, Dick McFee
