Obituary For Barry Wayne Polson
Barry Polson of Halifax died peacefully December 29th, 2023, at the Halifax Infirmary at age 69. He was the son of the late Carl and Joan (Lanigan) Polson. Barry was born and raised in Halifax and spent most of his working life in the city. He is survived by his partner, Donna Bonner, stepdaughter Tanyka Bonner, grandchildren TraVonte and Aaliyah (Bonner), sisters Karen and Debbie. He was well-known in the Halifax bar industry, working for many years at Gingers and the Seahorse Tavern. With his close friend the late Peter Norwood, he loved to sail and would come home to tell the tales of their adventures. Ian MacDonald, his childhood best friend, tended to Barry’s needs faithfully every day until the end of Barry’s journey. Special thanks to Ian for giving of his time. It meant a lot. He was “Poppy” to TraVonte and Aaliah and was always interested in their progress through life. Over the years he looked after the fur babies Sandy, Nila, Jonathan, Simba and Blue. He was often seen in his neighbourhood of Duncan St. ensuring Sandy and Nila got their daily exercises no matter what the weather was. Barry’s specialty was cooking and baking comfort food for the soul from his grandmother’s recipe box. He was a respectful, grateful, and humble man. He was known for his wicked sense of humor that would bring people to their knees with laughter. His humor will live on in our memories.
Many thanks to the doctors, nurses and staff on 8.2. You are wonderful human beings.
Per Barry’s request, there will be no visitation or service.
