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.

"but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint"
It was always a delight to bump into Bernie. Ready with a smile, a story and if your’e lucky his giggle. I’m blessed to have called him friend.
Our sincere condolences to the family. Bernie will be missed by many. ❤❤❤

Bernie was a great guy. Whenever you met him he always liked to chat and he always had a smile. He did our outside fireplace this summer and shared some funny stories with us. He’ll certainly be missed and we’re sending sincere condolences to the family and we hope your precious memories will help comfort you at this sad time. RIP Bernie!

Rest in peace my dear friend
We always had such great chats when we would see you at the store. And we will always remember the December (like this one) that you and Mo built our tall, double chimney and hearth at the lake; when you had to break the ice to get water to mix the cement! ..... we will miss you.
