Fysh, Barry Ross
Barry Ross Fysh
It is with great sadness that the family of Barry Ross Fysh announce his passing on Wednesday, March 6th, 2019 at Providence Place in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan. Barry was born the 6th child of Charles and Eileen Fysh on November 23rd, 1928. He was predeceased by his parents; sisters: Vera (Jarvis) Bullied, Gweneth (Sydney) Carter, and Patricia (Fred) Crosbie; brothers, Cliff (Bernetta) and Cyril; Cyril’s daughter-in-law, Ruth; infant sons, Rex and Daniel; and daughter-in-law, Brenda Fysh. Barry will be lovingly remembered and dearly missed by his wife of 66 years, Maida; daughter, Brenda Fysh (Jerry Loftus); son, Greg Fysh; daughter, Connie (Barry) Ashworth. Barry adored his grandchildren, his great and his great-great grandchildren, and they adored him right back: Dawn (Trevor) Branton, Ryan (Alysha), Brianna, Tyvan, Jocelyne Weinbender, Amber and Chance, Crystal (Travis) Hilton, Emily and Tayla, Jeremy Sanderson (Nicole LeNouail), Michael (Kristin Svedahl), Scott (Kaymee Pedeerson), Kiam and Ella, Jennifer (Andrew) Alaric, Zander and Savana, Mykayla, Shane Ashworth (Erin Farnel), and Sheldon (Stephanie) Ashworth; as well as several cousins and many nieces and nephews. Barry was raised and lived on the family farm west of Crestwynd all of his farming and ranching years. When they retired from farming, Barry and Maida moved into Moose Jaw. He served on the R.M. of Hillsborough Council first as a councilman, finally as the Reeve, and he was also on the ambulance board. He was a lifetime member of the Elks Club. Barry was enthusiastically involved in sports – with a particular love for playing and coaching baseball and finally for curling. He was a master mechanic, even though he had no training. He was a committed community member involved in every aspect of rural community life. Barry thoroughly enjoyed Sunday drives wherever the road may take him and they usually ended with an ice cream treat. Second to none, Barry had a deep dedication to and love for his family. Each grandchild that came along had a special place in Barry’s heart, and they could always expect a smile on his face and a mischievous twinkle in his eye. The family would like to extend their appreciation to a very special nephew of Barry’s, Bob Bullied. Bob, your dedication to your Uncle Barry will not be forgotten, nor will your unfailing support of the rest of the family. We love you. We’d like to thank the staff of Providence Place for their kindness and compassionate treatment of Barry. We’d also like to thank the West Park Crossing staff who continued to visit Barry after he moved to Providence Place. A Celebration of Barry’s life will be held on Saturday, March 16th, 2019 from 2:00 till 5:00 p.m. in the Harvey Room at Moose Jaw Funeral Home. In lieu of flowers, donations in Barry’s name may be made to the Providence Place Foundation Inc, 100 – 2nd Ave NE, Moose Jaw, SK S6H 1B8. Arrangements are entrusted to Moose Jaw Funeral Home, 268 Mulberry Lane. Michelle Surtees Funeral Director 306-693-4550.

Mrs.Fysh and family, thank you for giving me the opportunity to meet and take care of your husband/father. Barry was a sweet soul, who’s smile put a sparkle in his eye and could light up a room. He was only with us for a short time, but he is truly missed. Heartfelt condolences to you all during this difficult time.
Please accept my condolences to all, and keep the good memories alive.
Maida, Brenda, Greg and Connie. My heart goes out to all of you and your family members. Being a member of your family for a period of time, I got to enjoy Barry’s humour…his smirk without laughing…and witnessing the love for his family. He was an honest man, spoke his truth. I won’t forget him, and enjoyed his company. Hugs to all of you.
Maida and family, we are so sorry to learn of Barry’s passing and offer our sincere condolences. My memories of Barry will be of someone who always wanted to know if I was up to no good,or not, and how I was doing. I recall from our years on the farm he was usually one of the first people to offer to help with whatever needed to be done yet always had time for a chat, a chuckle and maybe even a coffee. He will certainly be missed.
Maida and family, So sorry to hear of Barry’s passing. I always loved those brief visits with him and his chuckle/laugh that accompanied him everywhere. I remember him being a great shot with a shotgun that I witnessed on several occasions. He was definitely one of the Good Ones and will be sorely missed.
With Condolences
