Wallace, Barry Aldon – It is with profound sadness that we, the family of Barry “Blister” Aldon Wallace, announce his passing at home on August 27, 2025 at 1:03 p.m. at the age of 69 after his fight with a glioblastoma brain tumor surrounded by his family.
Barry worked as a truck driver for 40 years with Elmsdale Landscaping where he also plowed snow in the winter and worked on the trucks in the garage.
In his younger years, Barry loved playing darts, crib, baseball, racing at Scotia Speedworld, watching Nascar on his 86-inch flat screen, as well as flying with Heltech fire crew putting out fires.
Barry had a heart of gold and kindness that knew no limits.
We, his wife and kids, will miss him beyond words, but take comfort in believing he is at peace without pain and is reunited with his family and friends who passed before him.
Over the years, Barry made many close friends and work family. Too many to list, but he loved you all dearly and you all know who you are.
Barry is survived by his wife, Lisa Wallace, whom he loved for 20 years before marrying her one month before he passed; children, Angie Hiltz (Matt Isnor), Lori Hiltz (Andrew Webber), Barry Hubley (Mandy Hubley), Kevin Pickles, Patrick Pickles (Jordyn Brine) and Sasha Pickles; siblings, Wade Wallace (June), Debbie Wallace (Ross), Sandra Wallace (Donnie); many nieces and nephews; and his 20 grandchildren whom he loved dearly and held a huge place in his heart.
Barry was predeceased by his grandparents, Isabel and Clarence Wallace and George and Pearl Phillips; parents, Aldon and Pauline Wallace; mother-in-law, Eva Maynard; son, Robert Butler; nephew, Walter Hunt Jr.; sisters, Sheila Wallace and Judy Hunt.
A Celebration of Life will be held on September 13, 1-4 p.m. in Stewiacke Legion Branch 70, 299 George Street. All who knew and loved Barry are invited to attend.
The family would like to thank the VON, palliative care, CCA, physio and occupational therapy teams who helped and supported us through everything from the time he came home. We appreciate you all and want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
In lieu of flowers, the family and Barry would like donations made to Brain Cancer Canada.
Don’t cry for me.
I will be okay.
Heaven is my home now,
and this is where I’ll stay.
Don’t cry for me.
I’m where I belong.
I want you to be happy
and try to stay strong.
Don’t cry for me.
It was just my time,
but I will see you someday
on the other side.
Don’t cry for me.
I am not alone.
The angels are with me
to welcome me home.
Don’t cry for me,
for I have no fear.
All my pain is gone,
and Jesus took my tears.
Don’t cry for me.
This is not the end.
I’ll be waiting here for you
when we meet again.
