In the years I have come to know Doug I believe that if he was here today he would definitely say " Grieve not for me. Remember the best times, the laughter, and the song. The good life I lived while I was strong. Continue my heritage, I'm counting on you. Keep smiling and surely the sun will shine through. My mind is at ease, my soul is at rest. Remembering all, how I truly was blessed. Continue traditions, no matter how small. Go on with your life, don't worry about falls. I miss you all dearly, so keep up your chin. Until the day comes when we're together again"
My deepest condolences to the Barnier Families especially to Diane, Dave and Matthieu whom I've come to know these many years.
Doug will always hold a special place in my heart.

Our condolences from the Sandercock family. Doug was a close friend of my father and just a great person. In the summer of 1980, just prior to me getting married I borrowed my dad’s boat and took a bachelor trip across Lake Erie following Doug on the “Barney B” to the flats. What a great weekend. Doug took good care of us and knew everyone at our port of call. God bless Doug and the Barnier family.

Erieau stands for memories that would never have been obtained were it not for this man. He represents this peninsula monumentally. He represents freedom, ambition, and business ethic. And all of these attributes have been inherited by his family. Apples never fall far. I know he will be smiling down on the memories of erieau for eternity. God bless and Amen.
