Bernie was a chemical engineer at Bristol for 17 years, and was a highly regarded team member in the construction of the Canadian Arms in the NASA program and became a Real Estate Agent with Greenhills Realty and Phoenix Realty. Bernies hardworking, dedicated personality, warmhearted nature, and ability to make smiles, had earned him the prestigious Top 20 Realtor Sales Award Medallion in Manitoba from the Winnipeg Real Estate Board. His sense of humour and friendly nature will be missed by those who knew him. When asked, "Did you enjoy your life," he responded, "Yes, much more than others."
