Bert was born in Moosomin, Saskatchewan on August 26, 1932. He served 35 years with the RCMP in New Brunswick, Regina, Saskatchewan and lastly at Headquarters in Ottawa, Ontario. Following a fulfilling career Bert and Yvonne retired to Otter Lake almost 27 years ago and became actively involved in the community of Lombardy and Holy Trinity Anglican Church where Bert served as Warden as well as on other committees. His quick wit always left you laughing or smiling; he had a kind word to say to everyone and was known by everyone.
