So many memories of seeing Bernie and Aggie working at the cemetery. One day I arrived to find them both moving headstones! This was maybe two or three years ago. He was an amazing worker and very determined man. And seeing him working in his garden along Belmont Road, I always admired his work ethic. He never let his age stop him from hard work. A true gentleman, RIP Bernie.
