He was my French teacher for three years when I attended Victoria Albert from grade 4 to 6. He was also my favorite teacher that I adored so much. He had given me the cute nick name of Little French Girl. I am so torn to findout that he has passed away. He was also my school patrol supervisor, I will always have special memories of my elementary school years because of him. He was the best at what he did. The world has lost one beautiful soul of a very dedicated teacher and a wonderful man. My prayers and love to his family. - Posted by: Rachelle Lussier (He was my elementary school French Teacher.) on: Oct 04, 2026

Dear Eileen and family. I offer my sympathy to you all at this time of loss. I had the privilege of sharing my Grade Four students with Albert for many years at Greenway. He was an amazing French teacher, as well as a wonderful school patrol co- ordinator for our school. The children respected and admired him. He had a gentle, loving and patient manner in all his classes. Albert was a real gentleman, and I feel honoured to have worked with him. I was not able to attend the service, but send you my condolences and prayers. Eileen Funk - Posted by: Eileen Funk (Teacher colleague at Greenway School) on: Sep 12, 2026

I remember all the Sundays after church that we spent at Grandma & Grandpa Bedu’s. Bert was always such a kind gentle person. He will be remembered as the kind and caring person that he was. - Posted by: Barbara Kilborne (Cousin) on: Sep 09, 2026
