Its with great sadness I hear of the passing of my uncle. He was a kind, hard working, compassionate man whose presence will be greatly missed. Although, I have not been in contact for a number of years, I have fond memories of him. My condolences and prayers are with all of the Mulder family.

We met Bert when he started dating our best friend Mary. He was a kind, soft spoken, gentle man. Don remembers that he would pick him up and give him a ride home from school. As Bert was just returning home from his job of delivering milk at that time. We moved away from Manitoba after we were married so weren’t able to keep in close contact but the family visited us in Sioux Lookout. Our thoughts and sympathies go out to you at this sad time Mary. Your longtime friends, Don and Jean - Posted by: Jean & Don Bates (Friends) on: May 15, 2021

Bert was a great neighbor and always willing to share his knowledge and sense of humour. We loved seeing him fish off the dock (his happy place). Our thoughts and prayers are with you Mary! - Posted by: Debbie & Gerry Labossiere (Neighbors at the cottage) on: May 09, 2021
