Dr. Bernard Ki-Yun Law

Bernie was a passionate lifelong learner and the most dedicated, hardworking father to his five children. He completed high school in Revelstoke and went on to receive a Bachelor of Engineering in Geophysics and Seismology, graduating in 1982, from the University of Saskatchewan. Bernie dedicated over 30 years of his career to research and development of seismic data processing technology. After his early retirement, Bernie continued to contribute to the field of geophysics by bringing his experience to the academic research environment at the University of Calgary. He received his Ph. D in 2021 shortly before passing away. He is dearly missed by his colleagues and professors who will always remember him for his positive attitude and work ethic regardless of his circumstances.

Bernie’s favourite pastimes included travelling with his children to visit family in Vancouver each year, photography, spending time at his acreage with family, collecting music and art, and searching for the best deals online and at garage sales. He spent down time catching up on Chinese soap operas with his two youngest children.

Bernie is lovingly remembered and dearly missed by his children Rhonda, Linda, Tina, Anita, Brian, and his beloved grand-dogs.

Bernie is also survived by his mother, sister, brothers, and his nieces and nephews. Predeceased by his father Nang Hong, whom he loved and missed dearly.
