Herbert ""Bert"" Edgar Wellman

Bert passed away peacefully with family by his side on Oct. 19, 2014 at the age of 84. Bert was born on July 2, 1930 in Asquith, SK. In 1941, his parents Herbert and Doris Wellman moved back to England where he was raised with his brother, Don (wife, Sally and children, Tracy & Suzie) and sister, Carole (husband, David and children, Matthew & Daniel) in Weymouth Dorset. After receiving his BA Honours in Geography from the University of London, Bert accepted a position with the City of Saskatoon in their Engineering Department in 1952. There he met his future wife (Joan) and raised two sons, Todd (wife, Carolyn and sons, Brett & Chad (Chamayne)) and Brent (wife, Raylene and son, Tyler & daughter, Dayna). By 1963, Bert became the City Planner and then on to Director of Planning & Development until 1987, where he became the Director of Special Projects until his retirement.  In the fall of 1988, Bert married Doreen; son, Jeff (wife, Kanwal and daughter, Sage) and 2014 marked their 26th wedding anniversary. Bert and Doreen loved to travel around the world, but Las Vegas was Bert’s favourite. On his 75th birthday, Bert learned that a Crescent/Lane was to be named after him in the Stonebridge sub-division recognizing his 36 years of service to the City. Over the years, Bert loved collecting stamps; bird hunting with his friends and faithful lab companion, Cole; and bowling and fishing with his sons. He will be sadly missed by all. A Celebration of Bert's Life will be held at Windsor Chapel (704 Windsor Street) at 2:00 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 23rd. Memorial donations would be appreciated to the St. Paul's Hospital Foundation (1702 - 20th Street West, Saskatoon, SK, S7M 0Z9).
