ALBERT (BERT) HERVE CHEVREFILS
Dearly missed and left to remember all of his many stories are his wife of 62 years, Alice, his children, Ronald (Annette), Corinne (Ron), Louise (Rick), Richard (Colleen) and Claire (Trevor) and his 16 grandchildren and 29 great-grandchildren.
He was predeceased by his parents, Herve and Mary and his brothers, Donat, Lawrence, Sylvio and Alain.
Bert was born on March 20, 1934 in Pine Falls and grew up on the family farm in the Chevrefils District where he learned the value of hard work. He worked in the newsprint mill in Pine Falls for 23 years as a pipefitter and retired to complete his career on the farm and family logging business.
Pépère loved telling jokes to anyone who would listen and was always ready with a good story. He enjoyed spending time in his garden tending to his plants and vegetables. As a great man of faith Bert could often be found in church conversing with his Lord. Besides his family, he will be missed by the local church, prayer community and the Knights of Columbus. Pépère and Memere loved fiddle music and spent many weekends at festivals listening and dancing the time away. His fiddle will be missed, especially by his grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
A funeral service will be held at Notre Dame du Laus Catholic Church in Powerview-Pine Falls, Manitoba on Monday, June 17. Prayers at 1:00 p.m. followed by Mass at 1:30 p.m.
In lieu of flowers, please send donations to Notre Dame du Laus Building Fund, Pine Falls or Life's Vision Manitoba Inc., Winnipeg, MB.

With profound sadness I learned of Bert’s passing. Bert was a friend of my Father. Dad would ask to visit Bert in his later years and enjoyed those moments immensely. Bert always had a smile and good humour when I crossed paths with him. Take heart knowing Bert is home. Kelly Sharpe - Posted by: Kelly Sharpe (Friend) on: Jun 15, 2019

"Bertie" was a great man; larger then Life itself. Although our paths will not meet on this Earth, we know his family has another Dedicated Angel looking after All, and another very brightly shining Star above you. Being welcomed into the Kingdom of Heaven, he is now with more Family and Friends. When we hear thunder; I will know that Bertie and my dad..met up and causing their usual ruckus💓In God We Trust.. May God Bless You Every one!! 🙏🙏🙏 - Posted by: Jill (Friend) on: Jun 14, 2019
