Bernard George HODGE
1929 - 2026

It is with sadness that we announce the passing of Bernard (Ben) Hodge, in his 97th year, on March 5, 2026, at Grace Village. He was the son of the late Reginald Hodge and the late Florence Bacon.
He leaves to mourn his wife of 67 years Helen Pollock; his three sons David (Crystal), Steven, Graham (Valerie); his four grandchildren Jordan (Audrey), Sophie (Jean-Philippe), Rachel, and Esther; the three great-grandchildren Jaycee, Haylee and Zoey; his sister Marion (Garth) Dockeray; and nephews and nieces. Ben was predeceased by his brother-in-law William Pollock (Mercedes).
Ben was born and raised in Cookshire, QC. After graduating from Cookshire High School, he attended MacDonald College. After graduating with a degree in agriculture, he came home to the family farm to raise animals. It wasn't long before he decided he would rather work with people than animals. After completing a year of education at Bishop's University, he spent a rewarding thirty-five years in education, first at Princess Elizabeth High School and then at Alexander Galt Regional High School, where he was known as "Gentle Ben."
Visitation will take place at Cass Funeral Home, 3006 College St., Lennoxville on Saturday, March 28 from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. A private graveside service will take place in July.
