Bernard was born in the Montmartre district on January 16, 1930. In his early years he worked for the DeDecker family where he developed a close relationship. He also worked at different jobs in Jasper, Alberta and Regina, Saskatchewan.

Bernard met and married Margaret Brooks in Regina where they lived for a short time. They then purchased a farm in the Stoney Brook area which is southeast of Glenavon, Saskatchewan in 1956. Dad continued to farm for the next 51 years before retiring in Fort Qu’Appelle. In his retirement, Bernard was always tinkering and devising ways to make everyday tasks easier, thus the nickname “MacGyver” was given to him by his kids. He enjoyed his retirement years with his family close by. Upon Margaret’s passing, he moved to Hayes Haven in Indian Head where he enjoyed watching sports on TV until his passing.

A private family interment will be held at a later date.
