Fern was predeceased by his father Oscar, mother Flora, brother Henry and grandson Beau. Fern was born in Pine Falls on December 19, 1929 and he lived in the area all of his life. He was truly an exceptional man who touched the hearts of many. He loved life and showed great compassion and sensitivity towards people. He always had a positive outlook on life and treated everyone with dignity and respect. Whenever a helping hand was needed he was there. Those who knew him will remember him for his generosity and kindness. His grandchildren will especially miss his sense of humour and loving nature. Fern spent countless enjoyable hours with family and friends at his home and cottage. He enjoyed the great outdoors, snowmobiling, quadding, hunting and fishing. We will remember Fern as an outgoing individual who enjoyed living life to the fullest.
