Bernie worked as a bricklayer and stone mason for all of his adult life; his wonderful creations can be found all over the place from Digby, Annapolis, Briar Island, Weymouth - even Bermuda!
Bernie enjoyed being in the woods exploring with his 4-wheeler and cutting wood. He took in many community events and enjoyed the music and taking pictures. With sad hearts we will cherish the memories.

There will be a funeral at the Bear River Baptist Church (where he rang the bell countless times). Date to be announced.
In memory of Bernie please donate to Lupus Canada or to the Canadian Cancer Society.
