I was blessed to have Barrie as my uncle. I could not have hoped for a greater role model in life. He was a gentleman and the son of a gentleman. His father, Frank, epitomised everything that is good and true in a character and Barrie was his equal in every way.
He lived by values that are rare in this world and almost unheard of combined in one person. He was a keenly intelligent and enquiring man. A calm, considerate, patient and steadfast person who was a source of strength, advice and support throughout my life. A man who was truly, totally and always reliable without question. His word was his bond and his counsel was wise.
Such was his influence that just asking oneself what Barrie would do in any given circumstance would usually lead one to the correct answer without having to actually make the enquiry.
He threaded his love and wisdom through every stitch of our family and we will all be poorer without him.
My best memory of Daddy was when he and I took the ferry from Thurso on the north coast of a Scotland to Kirkwall on Orkney after being weathered in on a sailing holiday together. We stood on deck in cold wind, stormy seas and drizzling rain and just talked and talked. It was perfect.
He taught me so much and I will miss our talks, walks, sailing and swimming together. He lived a good life and I'm doing my best to do the same.
Hugs to you and your family, Fiona! Hugs, The Cabots
