I remember Barry fom years ago. I worked with him in Edmonton, G.I.S. He investigated the Keegstra matter who was an anti semitic teacher in Eckville, Alberta. Barry was a great guy, and an excellent investigator.

Our hearts are heavy with grief as we pass on our condolences to Kathy and family. I grew as a neighbour and friend of the Kutryk family and attended school with John. When Barry came to New Myrnam High School in 1967, with the centennial RCMP exhibit, it made me want to become a member. While working at the RCMP I met and married one of Barry's troop mate Al Weir. Al has spoken to some of Barry's troop mates and remember him as one of the most admired and well liked members. Barry will be sorely missed. We are thinking about you and pass on our prayers.

Many years ago I was one of the lucky ones to not only meet Barry but also work for him. Barry was a highly respected investigator and a natural Leader who led by example. Much could be learned from Barry. Over the years through promotions,transfers having children etc. we saw each other less and less and the phone calls were few and far between; but Barry and Kathy always kept in touch by way of their annual Christmas letter. I always looked forward to reading about the Kutryk clan's annual activities. Tricia,our son Reid and myself had visited the Kutryk farm in the past. Barry and I kind of had a special bond as we were both born and raised Albertans and more importantly from roughly the same geographical area. My mom and dad were born in Islay,I was born in Vermilion, and all my relations farm in the Dewberry area. Just recently Tricia and I were visiting with friends in Lac la Biche celebrating Canada Day. Being in the general vacinity of Beauvallon we thought we would pay a visit with Barry and Kathy on the way home to Calgary. When I called I was caught off guard as I quickly realized that Barry was losing his battle with cancer. I say caught off guard because we knew Barry had been battling cancer for a long time but when talking to him he never ever let on that things were bad and as always had a positive attitude. It was an extremely sad day for me but then Tricia reminded me how blessed I was to have been able to talk to Barry. One of the things Barry said to me was "we had a lot of fun didn't we Carman." On the 11th of July, Tricia and I were talking about Barry and at that very moment my cell phone rang. It was Dirk Dejong calling to advise that Barry had passed away. Joshua, Matthew, Laura-Anne and Natasha, I wanted to share this little story with you. Your dad and my good friend will always be in my memories for a lot of reasons. This sad day will never be forgotten because you see; my dad sadly passed away last year; on July 11th. Our sincere condolences to you and your family Kathy. Barry will be missed but not forgotten.

We were happy to have met Barry and Kathy a year ago at a western retirement party for fellow RCMP officer, Randy Leaman.
Celebrations allow us to connect with the friends of our friends and we very much enjoyed his company that evening.
He has left a remarkable legacy of family, colleagues and friends and our condolences go out to the Kutryk family.

Kathy and family, I was shocked and sadden to hear that Barry had passed away. I am sitting hear thinking of all of the great times I had with him while in the Yukon. As great of a father and husband, he was equally great as a member of the force. I have laughed and cried just thinking of some of the crazy things we did and saw. I know from talking and listening to him he was so proud of his children and all they have accomplished, and you Kathy were his true love and soul mate. The world was a much better place with Barry Kutryk in it. It was an honour to have worked with him, and I offer you my deepest condolences.

I have no words to express my sadness. He's been a wonderful brother-in law to me. I've been blessed to have him in my life. He was a dedicated, thoughtful husband to my sister Kathy, and the best loving, caring father to Joshua, Matthew, Laura-Anne and Natasha. I will miss him until my last breath.
I thought of you today, but that is nothing new.
I thought about you yesterday, and days before that too.
I think of you in silence, I often speak your name.
All I have are memories and a picture in a frame.
Your memory is a keepsake, from which I'll never part.
God has you in His arms.
I have you in my heart.
