It is with great sadness that our family announces the passing of John Bertrand in his 83rd year. He passed away peacefully on Thursday, May 2, 2024, with his family by his side.
John was the beloved husband of Joan for 62 years. He was a loving father to his son Doug (Susie) and daughter Wendy, grandchildren Mitch (Taryn) and Christine. Gramps will be deeply missed by all.
John was a caring brother of Bob (Barb) and Jim (late Maureen) and brother-in-law to Jim (Lynne) and John (Doris). John will be sadly missed by his niece and nephews.
Over the years, John formed many long lasting friendships up north and at the family cottage on Crystal Lake for 44 years. He was a dedicated electrician and owned the family contracting business, J. Bertrand Electric. Ltd. for over 30 years.
John will be remembered as having a caring, thoughtful, and kind spirit. He was always thinking of others before himself and willing to help with any project.
The family wishes to express our heartfelt gratitude to the staff at Stronach Regional Cancer Centre (Dr. Luk, Dr. So), Community Health Care, Spectrum Health Care and Margaret Bahen Hospice.
