CLARE, Captain Barry Ernest October 17, 1932 - September 2, 2021

Captain Clare in his 89th year set anchor in North Vancouver, BC on September 2, 2021. Barry is lovingly survived by his wife Ursula Mary of nearly 62 years. He will be greatly missed by his four daughters Tracy, Shelagh (Chris), Shannon and Jamie (Scott). Grandchildren Amanda (Phil), Nicole, Melanie, Ryan and Eily. Barry will be lovingly remembered by his great-grandchildren Quinn and Wyatt. Barry was predeceased by all his siblings, Neville, Barbara, Jeanie and Ernie as well as his parents Ernest and Annie Clare, all from Yorkshire, England.

At Barry’s request there will be no service instead he did request you raise a glass in his memory and to “Carry On”

“Through fog and stormy seas till the ship touched land. Respected and admired by his loyal officers and crew. He was not only a fine skipper. But a wonderful Father too.” written by George Lionel Andersen

“Old sailors never die but sail away till the sea touches the sky.”
