For the last couple of months, Barry Knight, a bird keeper in Harden NSW, has been ill. Us of the Canberra Finch Club, including some of his old friends, didn't know just how ill he was, until he passed away last week.
Barry was a great guy, I met him a couple of times at bird sales, always willing to have a chat, and some great birds he bred too.
We will sorely miss his presence at the CFC Christmas party, a night apparently he always attended and enjoyed.

27 views... even if you didn't know him and oh-how-sad would be nice for him to look down on I'm sure.

I have known Barry and Sue for about 8 years or so. I used to see the Knights at all the club meetings and of course at the sales. They always had time for a chat. Indeed his friends will miss him. RIP Barry.

Was in the Riverina Finch Society, until I went back to Uni. Was going to rejoin, but now I am selling up and moving to QLD.
