Barry Latham and I met in the mid 60’s when we were both young men, I was 16, Barry was 23. We worked together for many years, building a bond of friendship and brotherhood. In the early 1980’s when work slowed down on Vancouver Island Barry and talked often about getting a “travel card”, which was needed for us to book into work at the Vancouver Local. We talked about it for more than a year. Finally we both went to the Victoria dispatcher and recieved our travel cards………..work then got busy in Cowichan Bay and we never did go to work in Vancouver.
When Debbie and I were married 26 years ago, Barry showed up in a suit and tie and gave us a beautiful candle stick holder as a wedding gift. The day he died we lit the candles.
My wife always teased Barry about always talking about it but not doing it. She nicknamed him “Travel Card”. Barry and I had a good chuckle about that when he was in the Nanaimo hospital.
Barry Latham was a good man with “old school” principles.
Have a good journey Travel Card………….I’ll miss you.

I met Barry through his son Scott. Although I didn’t know him well, we only met a few times, I enjoyed the times we spent together. I helped him sort out his computer issues, and always amired his wanting to learn all he could about the newer technology. I want to offer my condolances to the Latham family for thier loss. I hope you are at peace.

I have known Barry since the late 60’s early 70’s. I just saw Barry not long ago collecting his cool bus from storage in Fairbridge. I had many a ride before it was customized and it was still cool then. With Barry, what you see was what you got. An open, honest and dear friend that will be missed.
