Barry Kenneth Langille, March 31, 1960 – June 22,
2022.
Barry was born to his surviving parents, Kenny and Gale
Langille, in New Glasgow, where he resided his entire life. He is the
oldest of four siblings, brothers, Randy and Stephen (Michelle), and
sister, Lynn (Jackie). He is survived by his former partner, Angela
Barteaux; four children, Jacqueline MacDonald-Kyle (Todd), Barry
Langille (Aline), Sara Linden, Katie Langille; grandchildren,
Sebastian and Peyton, Tyson, and Vance; nieces and nephew, Christene,
Gale, and Scott. Also survived by his first wife and mother of his
children, Janice Langille.
Barry spoke fondly of memories growing up of his predeceased
grandparents, Keith and Rita Langille and James and Bertha Frazee. He
loved the outdoors and spent much of his time on his
grandparent’s hobby farm tending to the horses. Dad loved
animals, especially his Chihuahua Diego.
Barry found his passion as a marksman when he joined 219
Royal Canadian Army Cadet Corps. He spent his summers at Cadet Camp
where he made lifelong friends. He was named top shot in Canada at 16
and travelled to Bisley to compete nationally. Barry’s
second home was the range and was a proud member of the Dominion of
Canadian Rifle Association. He travelled with deep curiosity and
wonder all over Canada, US, England, Australia, and South Africa
following his shooting dream where he received many top
awards.
Dad was a Dodge man through and through and self-taught at
restoring muscle cars. He was a jack-of-all trades, particularly
gifted as a craftsman, upholsterer, and horticulturalist. Our happiest
times were cooking a turkey dinner on holidays and sharing meals with
his family, especially lobster boils. Barry was a member of St.
Andrews Presbyterian Church.
Barry is at rest at R.H. Porter Funeral Home, 55 Almont Ave.,
New Glasgow, with visitation 6-9 pm Sunday, June 26. Masks recommended

Andrew Presbyterian Church, New Glasgow, with Rev. Dr. Joon Ki Kim
