We have just watched the beautiful tribute to your Dad, Barry. A man of the land so dearly loved by you all. We are so sorry for your loss and send our deepest sympathy. Bruce often talks about those weeks he spent with your family in Beatrix Bay possum hunting with Barry. Your Mum said that even the chooks went hungry when Bruce was there as he was remembered as a man who loved his food. Bruce came home from those weeks with you all so taken by young Alysha that he said when he had a daughter of his own he would call her Alysha. And so we have our Alysha McC too. Those who we have loved will be forever held in our hearts. With love and sympathy from Bruce and Jenny McCusker

When we were kids we went down to the pond they had made a float of drums with Max.We were told not to go in water.Well we didn't go in we went on top of float Barry and Max's shirt got wet.So I told them I throw over bush to dry Well my throwing didn't go too good landed in water So home with wet shirts.and us looking guilty.oh dear why didn't we leave till next day to try. Spence I remember you coming out to Fox farm to play with Alton SHane and Colin.Remember you coming in end of day cover in super.Popped you all in bath tried to shake all the sopper off before Mum came to pick you up!. We have lovely memories of Barry and I look forward to the resurrection day when we will all catch up again.Our prayers are with all at this time. Love Cousin Pam
I wish to convey my deepest sympathy to Caryl and family, and Barry's family. At the very young age of 15 the McClintock family took me in and gave me the most wonderful 18 months of my life. For the love, guidance, and generosity that they gave me at a stage in my life that I was lost I will be eternally grateful. With all my love Terry Brew
Dear Stacey, Alysha, Spence and Families Our thoughts and love are with you as you lay your dear Dad and Grandad to rest. He was a special brother, even though the Tasman kept us separated all our adult years except for occasional visits. As a boy, Barry was always busy and was delighted when the rain would let up and he could go back outside to some farming activity as being inside was not for him. I always respected his opinions and loved him for being the supportive big brother that he was. I will miss our phone conversations, but am glad the frustration of inactivity of the last many months is over. He was very proud of all his children and grandchildren. Rest well dear Barry.
