- Peter, an upright Englishman, who might be Scottish, Irish or Welsh. A great wit, sometimes dry, his comments sometimes wry. Definitely the salt of the earth. His sermons very poignant and pertinent. His sincerity at funerals very touching, finding and presenting the best of saints and sinners. A positive fixture who has given support in many ways to those of Georgetown. He has earned his place at the big table for all of the right reasons. It has always been an honour to shake his hand.
-Wonderful man ! He was my minister and he baptized my children 👶😊
- He was the minister at Limehouse church just before we moved away so never really got to know him
- A true gentlemen in all sense of the word !
- At 87 he is a very active police chaplain and to this day he still comes out on patrol with the officers in Georgetown or Milton every Friday night for 4 hours precisely. He also conducts the benediction at every new officers’ swearing-in ceremony Region-wide. He has an issued bullet-proof vest but I don’t think he needs one with Divine Intervention on his side! Wonderful gentleman!
- Marg I think he had a old car he tinkered around with

- He was the best minister a church could ever hope for, we were very fortunate to have had him for so many years at Knox. He performed baptisms, weddings, and funerals for many of my relatives. He did the funeral service jointly with Reverend Steve Boose for my cousin because he had known and worked with her for so long. I'll always remember the story he told about how when he first met her and started working with her she warned him to be careful what he said about people as she had lived all her life in Georgetown and knew just about everyone.

-Such great admiration for Rev Barrow! He has always been there for my family especially my Da and Mum! Mum would turn to no one but Rev Barrow for spiritual comfort or advice. Remember sharing a flight from Glasgow Scotland to Toronto, Canada with Rev Barrow. For me personally he was a great pillar of strength for me when I gave my Mums Eulogy. Such an honour to know him! God Bless you Peter Barrow!

I wanted to say that I consider this man one of the finest. I feel as though his contributions to the town an its residents should not go un noticed or un appreciated. Want to say thanks to Peter Barrow
