 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,

Rest in Peace Bernie.
