To the Barber family...I was a student of Mr. Barber's back in the early 80's at LCC Law Enforcement program. He was an excellent educator and mentor for many of us. He helped us very much to progress in our chosen careers paths. All respect Rolly.

Condolences go out to Barber family. Rollie and I were stationed together in Regina and Ottawa. He was a premier instructor and lecturer. When Rollie was "on the boards" you could hear a pin drop in the room. He always had the rapt attention of all and was a great role model for those of us coming up behind him. He was a fine man with a great way with people. I will always remember him in a most positive way.

Rollie was a fine man and will be remembered by all, particulary members of "H" Troop ('59") My sincere thoughts and prayers to his whole family.

I joined the RCMP along with Rolie in April 1958, we trained in Depot Division (Regina SK) till January 1959. We were "A" Troop, with abut 30 members to start. Rolie was elected our Right Marker - on a hockey team that position would be the "captain." Rolie was our leader, our captain for the whole training period. He was the best.
"A" Troop had great spirit, as a result of Rolie's leadership, and we've maintained contact through various troop reunions over the years. The last one was held at Depot in 2018. We also kept in touch from time to time via email.
RIP old friend!

My condolences to Gloria and the rest of the Barber family. Mr. Barber was one of my instructors @ LCC 1988-1990, and he was a fabulous man. He always had time for his students and his sense of humor was very entertaining. I have fond memories of him and his teaching techniques. To this day, his stories about "Buggy-Whip, SK" bring a smile to my face. He was instrumental in paving the road for my career! May you all find comfort at this time.

To the Barber Family,
My sincere sympathies to all of you on Rollie's passing. I was a teaching colleague of his at the College -- he in Criminal Justice, I in Nursing, for a number of years. We shared many good laughs during those years and I appreciated his commitment to his students. May Peace and Comfort be your experience as you remember this special gentleman.
With warm memories,

I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Rollie. He was my instructor and mentor when I took Criminal Justice at LCC in 1990-1992. He even gave me a part time job when he knew I was struggling in college. He helped shape me into the police officer I became in the RCMP. He taught me to work hard and take pride in my work. Thank you. May you Rest In Peace.

Rollie was one of my instructors at Lethbridge Community College during the spring of 1986 when I was in the resource enforcement program. A great teacher who taught me a lot about law enforcement. R.I.P Mr. Barber and thank you for your service.
