I was saddened to hear of Bernard’s passing. I enjoyed working with him while he was at Industry Canada and I remember with fondness the times we were able to meet and chat in person.

I had the great pleasure to work with Bernard and his staff a few years ago and was saddened to hear of his passing. His good-humor, clear-headed insights, frankness, tolerance and openness were traits that I found made him easy to work with and for during often complex and shifting projects. A fine man for whom the civil service is the poorer without. My sincerest condolences to his family, friends and colleagues for their loss.

Dear Claire and Stéphane,
I have asked Elizabeth Hung Sorfleet to write you on my behalf. I served on the Board of Directors of the Social Planning Council at the same time frame as you, Claire, and Bernard. I would like to convey my sincere condolances on your loss. Unfortunately, I am not able to attend today's and tomorrow's ceremonies, however, I will keep you in my thoughts tomorrow and throughout the days to come.

Please accept my deepest sympathies to you and your family. Bernard demonstrated how the federal government can support the voluntary sector in tangible, helpful ways. He came to understand the sector, used consultation with Advisory committee's (VolNet and IM/IT) well and made the rules work for the voluntary sector. We know that he valued and loved his family and sometimes heard about his much-enjoyed vacations. I'm sorry that I did not know of his illness earlier. He made a great contribution and will be missed. Maggie - retired CEO, Family Service Canada.

I am very sorry to hear of Bernard's death. Speaking from the perspective of a community network project co-ordinator, he was always a fine and supportive person to work with. He will be missed by many working in the community sector.

Bernard's commitment to building the capacity of the voluntary sector in Canada will be felt for years to come. He was a true champion of the value of community organizations and their contribution to civil society. It was a true pleasure to work and learn with Bernard. Peaceful healing to Claire, family and friends.(Centre for Voluntary Sector Research and Development)

Sans avoir eu de contact professionnel régulier avec Bernard, j'ai eu l'occasion de travailler avec lui à quelques reprises. J'ai ainsi pu apprécier sa chaleur humaine, son empathie et son sens de l'humour. Toutes mes condoléances à ses êtres chers et bon courage dans cette épreuve.
