O’SHANNESSY

 Bernard Joseph ‘Bernie’

passed away peacefully on Monday December 8th, 2025.

 On the 13th of December it would have been his 87th birthday, much longer than his lifestyle would have suggested by his own admission.

 He was the proud husband to Carolyn; they met in 1966.

 Dad to Damien, Lynette, Erin, Karen, Annette, and Stephen and

Pa to Alex, Ryan, Ayden, Caleb, Harper, Vance, Isabelle and Oliver.

 

He was a farmer, councillor, businessman, miner, land developer,

car enthusiast/racer & restorer, mentor, historian, enthusiastic debater and much more.

Rest in Peace Bernie.
