ÒThank you St. PeterÓ Barney T. Comishin, late of Estevan and formerly of Cedoux and Weyburn, passed away peacefully Thursday, May 10th, 2007 at Estevan.

Barney was born in Cedoux, Saskatchewan, December 29, 1914. BarneyÕs home was Cedoux for most of his life. He purchased his fatherÕs blacksmith shop and garage business and started a British American/Gulf Oil fuel agency servicing the area. When Gulf Oil was purchased by Petro Canada, Barney and his wife, Helen, moved to Weyburn where he worked for Petro Canada until his retirement. BarneyÕs home has been Hillview Manor, in Estevan, since June 2002.

Barney loved to travel with Helen, friends and family and visited places within Canada, U.S.A., Hawaii and Europe. He enjoyed coffee and cards with friends and sending time with his family, especially children. His grandchildren brought a sparkle to his eye and a smile to his face. Barney was a loving grandfather, instilling in his grandchildren his love of music and nature. Barney was a treasure who brought joy, humour and comfort to lives. His warm, loving nature and generosity made him special to all who knew him.

Gone are the days of traveling the countryside in the bulk fuel truck, riding the lawnmower, ice cream treats in Cedoux, blowing up muscles, teasing and laughing with the grandkids. Living on are precious memories and his legacy of love and devotion.

Barney was predeceased by his wife Helen; stepson Daryl; parents, Steve and Katherine; two sisters, Josephine and Monica; and three brothers-in-law, Ted, Bill and George.

He leaves to cherish his memory: two sisters, Natalie Byers and Judy (Jerry) Resch; stepchildren, Wayne (Pat) Leader and Darlene (Ken) Geisel, as well as many priceless grandchildren, great grandchildren, nieces and nephews.
