John a servi dans l’Aviation royale canadienne et dans l’armée pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Il était extrêmement fier de son service et a fidèlement assisté aux commémorations du jour du Souvenir et aux événements organisés pour les anciens combattants tout au long de sa vie.
He was a bomber and on Dec 24 1943, after entering a good bombing over Dusserdolf, he noted, ‘What a Christmas???’
Bert, to those who knew him, served in the Canadian Army for 24 years. First in the army with the 8th Canadian Hussars, then in the air force as a photo technician. Bert loved tanks, and would stop and climb on any one he saw. He passed away last March and we miss him dearly.
