• Chère Brigitte. Je veux t’offrir toutes mes condoléances pour ton immense perte! J’ai de la difficulté à croire qu’il est déjà parti vers notre Père. Il était plein d’énergie et de projets.

• I am so very sorry to learn about Bernie's passing. It seems so inconceivable. Bernie always seemed to me to be indestructible. He was such a strong person, so capable. He was always generous with his time and his talents. I enjoyed the opportunities we had to chat and commiserate especially when we were stuck in the wilds of Westfort. Later, whenever I pestered him for something for the library, he always responded with a smile and "What can I do for you this time, Mr. Z?" I am so profoundly sad. - Posted by: Rudolf K Zeitlhofer (Friend and colleague) on: Mar 15, 2022

• I grew up at St. Patrick's Church and looked up to Bernie in my childhood and early adult life. We were connected with the family in a variety of ways. My sincerest condolences to the loss of such an amazing person. - Posted by: Anthony (Parish and Friend) on: Mar 15, 2022

• Our heartfelt condolences to Brigitte, Danny, Sonya, Richard, Christine and family on the loss of a precious light that displayed love, joy, compassion, gentleness and the proverbial helping hand of God. As a counselor and colleague at FFHS, I truly counted Bernie as one of the Good ones who devoted his patience, skills and genuine caring for each of his students that impacted their lives and endeared himself to the entire staff. Bernie was authentically good natured and positive and very devoted to his family. It was an honour to have known Bernie and I valued his friendship and his selfless acts of service and kindness to all he came into contact with. A few years ago Bernie and I renewed our connection after his retirement and relocation to Winnipeg. About 2.5 years ago I decided the need to build a unique deck and the 1st person that came to mind was of course Bernie. Despite all of his other commitments he quickly came to my rescue and we spent a glorious month constructing a unique deck with material he had never used before. It was a most joyous time for me and my wife and we so looked forward to our challenges, creativity and banter about the most vital aspects surrounding our lives - LOVE of GOD, Family and people in general. Well done good and faithful servant! You will be missed but the memories you have left are eternal and we are so grateful God has allowed us to experience your radiant presence. Your friends, Johnny & Daphne Rogoza - Posted by: Johnny Rogoza (Friends ) on: Mar 15, 2022

• So sorry to hear of Bernie's passing. We taught together at Fort Frances High School for a number of years.

• Bernie was a great man. I taught at Fort Frances High School with Bernie for ten years and had the privilege of teaching his son Danny and going on a few canoe trips with Bernie and a few other colleagues.

Mes prières sont avec vous lors de ces moments difficiles. - Posted by: David Shuh (Colleague and friend) on: Mar 15, 2022
