He was a devoted father and hero to Lorna Hill (Steven) and Neil Moir (Connie) and a proud Grandad to Emily(Jesse), Russell, Clayton, Maddox, Maverick, and Sienna. His loyal dog Sophie held a special place in his heart. Barrie began his career as a cabinet maker but transitioned to firefighting after developing an allergy to wood dust.

He went on to serve as a full-time Firefighter for 32 years in the Borough of York, where he rose to the rank of Captain. In addition, he served as a Volunteer Firefighter in King City for 31 years, eventually becoming the Fire Chief. His dedication to service and volunteer work earned him numerous accolades, including Firefighter of the Year, the Fire Services Exemplary Service Medal for 40 years of service, the Ontario Citizenship award, and several community awards from the Township of King.
