At the Saint John Regional Hospital, Saint John NB on June 14, 2017, David Arthur Barry, partner of Cheryl "Sherry" Steen of St. George NB. Born in St Stephen NB on April 3, 1950, he was a son of the late Arthur and Geraldine (Hatt) Barry. David spent his working life as an Industrial Mechanic at Lake Utopia Paper.

He loved a good hockey game and being with his family. David always loved to play a good joke on anyone and loved to tease, you often had trouble telling if he was being serious or not. An avid Bingo player, he could be found playing any chance he had. He was a member of the St. George's Catholic Church, C.E.P. Local 523N (now Unifor) and was an EAP Rep for the Mill.
