Obituary

UCFV’s Men’s soccer team was greatly saddened by
the passing away of Barry Mansell‘on July 18, at the
age of 66. Barry was a member of the men’s coaching
staff for the fall seasons of 1995-97. -

_ “He was a real gentlemen, in everything he did,”
said assistant coach Ken Fernstrom. “Even though we
didn’t always agree — what two coaches do?” .
Fernstrom said, “he was a pleasure to work with. He is’
sorely missed.”

The team is honouring Barry with commemorative
insignia on their uniforms as they “play the football”
and had a moment’s silence at their opening home
game September 26.

Besides playing and coaching for several years in
the Lower Mainland, Barry’s career included playing
professionally in England for Portsmouth, Reading and.
Bournemouth.

~. Barry is survived by his wife Vera and two sons.
