Bliss was born in Norway House, Manitoba on January 10, 1931. In his younger years, he worked as a trapper, fisherman and forest ranger. He also worked for the Manitoba Government until his retirement. He was happiest writing songs and singing with his band members, Pat and John Mowatt, The Nelson Rivers Ramblers. Later, he enjoyed his time fishing with his grandchildren, golfing, travelling and spending time with friends. Bliss and Connie also enjoyed their time working at The Marina at Hecla Island.
In keeping with his wishes, a memorial service was held at Gilbart Funeral Home and his ashes were laid to rest at St. Clement's Churchyard.

My heartfelt condolences to Connie and all of Bliss’s family. He was a good man and dedicated member of the Northern Manpower Corps. Bliss was a valued colleague and good friend to all of us. He could always be depended upon to use his humor to bring a smile even when things were not so good. I miss those good old days we spent together. Although our paths have not crossed for many years I thought of him often I was lucky to be able to call him my friend. - Posted by: Murray Harvey (Old friend a pnd colleaque) on: May 30, 2020
