Beloved youngest son, little brother, and dear Uncle, passed away from natural causes in Rosemary, Alberta. Predeceased by his parents, Margaret and Barney, and his sister-in-law, Marg, survived by siblings Patrick (Linda), Mike, Maureen (Jim), Peggy (Ian), nieces Tara (Matt, and their children Andrew and Evelyn), Kelin, nephew Dana, and cousins in Alberta, British Columbia and the United Kingdom.
Bernie was born in Vancouver, B.C., and spent his childhood playing in parks and on baseball diamonds. He enjoyed gardening, cooking and was a gifted charcoal artist. He worked for several years in the Vancouver area before relocating to Alberta where he was employed in the Oil & Gas sector until his retirement. Bernie was a quiet man of few words, but his firm handshake, gentle manner and easy laughter spoke volumes.
“Until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of his hand.”
A Private Funeral Service for immediate family members will be held in Calgary, Alberta.
