Don was born in Cranbrook on March 15, 1940 to George and Isabella (Cameron) Barr. He was raised in Fort Steele and returned to live at the family farm upon retirement. Don worked for Cominco for 40 years and he and his wife Carroll raised their family (Lorna, Larry, and Ron Barr) in Kimberley, BC.

Don’s roots are deep in Fort Steele with one grandfather, Harry Barr being a blacksmith at Fort Steele, and the other grandfather, David Cameron, farming at Fort Steele.

Don was proud of his accomplishments of obtaining a Millwright and Machinist Ticket.  Don was a proud member of the Masons for almost 60 years.

We know Don is driving a John Deere in green fields across the great divide and that he is waiting for us to join him in time.
