It is with great sadness that the Greaves family announces the sudden passing of Bernard (Bernie) Michael Greaves in TBRHSC on Thursday, November 18, 2021 at the age of 63 years.
Bernie was employed with the city of Thunder Bay for numerous years, Dawson Court and most recently at Pioneer Ridge. He took pride in his job, his coworkers and the residents in his care.
Bernie graduated with honors from the Culinary Management program in 1993, being in the kitchen was a true passion of his. He loved cooking for anyone who'd let him. Bernie enjoyed being outdoors. Fishing and being on the water with his friends was truly his happy place.
Bernie was a private man, however spoke very highly of his love for his family. Bernie was predeceased by his parents James (Joe) Greaves and Dorothy Greaves. His brother John Greaves, sister-in-law Deena Greaves and nephew Adam Goodwin. He is survived by his sister Elaine Greaves, brother Jim Greaves and sister-in-law Susan Greaves.

I first met Bernie in 9th Grade. We later went our separate ways both geographically and in work, but I always liked and respected him as a quiet, calm and dignified man. I am not surprised that he gave his life to the care of others. My prayers and sympathies to his family and friends.

I am so sorry for your loss. I worked with Bernie. He was one of my favourites. A man of very little words but I always got a smile out of him.
