Bernie was a part of our lives for many years. He played hockey on the same team as Leon and was also a good friend to me, Janet. Our sons Richard amd Marcel would often say to us "We just have to ask Bernie"... whether we were talking about cars, renovations, etc. He was there to help us when we renovated our basement as well as designing and building our gazebo. We always missed him before he passed and hope that he is at peace in his new world. - Posted by: Leon and Janet Cretain (Friend) on: May 02, 2012
