- FIENDELL, Barry Eugene
Barry was born in Porcupine Plain, SK on December 15, 1948 to Walter and Mabel Fiendell, the last of their 7 children. Barry’s family lived on a farm near Weekes, SK until 1954 when they moved to Fort Nelson, BC, Muncho Lake, BC, then on to Whitehorse in 1957. He moved back to Porcupine in 1967 and after graduation he went on to work in Northern Canada; Yellowknife and Whitehorse then Edmonton. He returned to Porcupine Plain in 1969 and met his wife Gladys there in the fall of 1971; she was teaching in a nearby small town. They were married in August of 1973. They lived in Regina where Barry worked for A.C Neilson Co. and Gladys did some substitute teaching. In May of 1974 they moved to Fort Nelson, BC where they purchased a Laundry and Dry Cleaning operation with Barry’s brother Alvin. In the fall of 1977 they moved to Yorkton, SK and lived there for 26 years where their children, Cory, Calvin and Alison were born and raised. In those years through sports, organizations, work and volunteering, Barry made many lifelong friends. Barry loved sports of all kinds; bowling, slow pitch, golf, but mostly curling. He played, watched and coached curling. When his sons became active in curling Barry began coaching and teaching juniors in 1992. He coached many teams throughout his years, and continued to do so until 2012. The most memorable was winning the Gold at the 2003 World Junior Championship in Switzerland. His curling goal was to get to the Brier, and he did several times; not as a curler, as he had hoped, but eventually as a coach for team Sask. Barry was a volunteer by nature, and was involved with his sons through T-ball, bowling, and of course curling. He spent years volunteering with the air cadets and being with his sons through all their experiences and levels. As of February 2019 Barry was an Honorary Member of the Yorkton Knights of Columbus. Other organizations he had been a member of were, The Lions Club and Blue Goose International. Barry enjoyed his family. His boys; Cory and Calvin, were his pride and joy, guys he could always share his loves with. He adored innocent, special Alison with her loving nature, and was always her protector. Right until the end she kept telling him “I love you so much dadâ€. Being called Grandpa by Mackenzie, Ashley, Weston and Paige, made his heart happy. In May 2018 Barry’s health deteriorated due to Vascular Dementia and Parkinsons, so he became a resident of Luther Special Care Home, where he was treated like family with caring and compassion until his peaceful passing on March 23, 2019. Barry was predeceased by his parents, Walter and Mabel Fiendell; his in-laws Joe and Zonie Sliva; his brothers; Wesley and Lorne; sister Shirley Rudniski and her spouses Mike Rudniski, Don Leniuk; brother-in-law Dave Eddy; and nephew Joseph Sliva.
