He left the farm to work on a ship on the Great Lakes, then in the gold mines in Red lake and finally to Kenora where he started working on Lake of the Woods hauling pulpwood.

In Kenora in 1955, he met his lifelong companion and wife for nearly 47 years, Grace (Henley). They resided in Kenora and spent their free time at their "weekend escape" at French Portage on Lake of the Woods. He enjoyed spending time on the lake fishing with friends and family and exploring the country by car or RV. Since retiring his favorite pastime was "coffeeing with the boys" and he loved the fellowship that went along with curling and golf. He was a long time member of the Royal Canadian Legion and a former member of the Loyal Order of the Moose. He was a volunteer for Meals on Wheels and the Retired Railroaders Hospital Fundraiser Following cremation there will be a Memorial Service at Brown Funeral Home & Cremation Centre on Monday, July 7, 2003 at 2:00 p.m. with his nephew Reverend Dennis Schram officiating.

Bernie was born and raised in Dryden, Ontario, moving to Kenora in 1946, where she resided most of her life. Bernie was a shy and gentle soul, whose warmest passion was her painting (both oil and watercolor). The past number of years often found her with brush in hand, happily sharing endless hours of creativity with her fellow friend and artist, Doreen Dunford. Bernie also loved to travel and did so to many other countries, but most of all it was her family to which she was most solidly grounded. At Bernie's request, there will be immediate cremation and there is to be no formal service. In lieu of flowers, a donation to a charity of your choice. Bernie would be pleased to be remembered exactly as you know her. In her quiet faith, she left us knowing that today is just another new beginning.
