    It is with deep sadness that the family of Bernard “Bernie” MacDougall announces the passing of their brother on November 13, 2020 at the age of 86. Bernie left his home in Cape Brenton at a very early age. Shortly after he joined the army. He served in the Korean War. When he returned, he worked on various jobs before following in his older brothers’ footsteps by joining the Ironworkers Union Local 721. Bernie was predeceased by his wife, Mildred, parents Daniel and Mary, three sisters, Mary, Margaret, Catherine and brothers, Jimmie, Frank, Johnnie, Joe, and Peter. All of his brothers were Ironworkers except Jimmie and Joe. Bernie is survived by one son, Daniel and two brothers R.J. (Ron) and Donnie both of whom are Ironworkers. Memorial service will take place at a later date post COVID. We will miss him greatly.

    “Calvin Rowe Van Horne, son of the late Bethune and Winston Van Horne was born on January 12,1950, in the parish of Westmoreland, Jamaica West Indies and passed on October 22, 2020. Calvin attended Savanna La Mar Secondary School. After he graduated his passion was to be a plumber, and his dream was to travel. He was successful in accomplishing both. He was an excellent plumber and enjoyed helping his family and friends with their plumbing needs. He travelled to the Bahamas, Cayman Island and Canada as his final destination and home. He became a Canadian Citizen, and worked very hard to achieve all his goals, including going back to school (George Brown College) to attain another trade as a welder and became a proud member of the Iron Workers Union. He met and married the love of his life Barbara Lashley. They shared 50 wonderful and inseparable years together.Their marriage produced six children combined, two sons and four daughters. Shelly, Ricky, Kathy, Davon, Dawn and Kevin. Calvin was a loving, caring family man who worked very hard and provided for his family. He made sure that Barbara and the kids had all they needed and he was always there for the family. Calvin loved his family dearly and he cherished his grand-children. He was always there for them and his love and dedication for his family can be seen in the relationship they had with him even unto death. Calvin was loved by everyone who knew him, always willing to help, very seldom he would say no. No matter how sick he was or if he was in pain, he never complained he put his trust in God and prayed. One of his greatest passions was cooking and eating. He loved good food and he loved to cook. As a family we always enjoyed many of his special dishes that he liked to prepare. Holidays were always fun because everyone looked forward going to Dad/Granddad as he was affectionately called, knowing he would have lots of good food for everyone (and drinks). The last thing he did for his beautiful wife was to make her favourite barbecue. Calvin is survived by his wife Barbara, six children, grandchildren, great grandchildren. Three brothers and one sister all living in the USA, nephews, nieces, cousins countless family members ,and many friends all over the world. He will be greatly missed by his family and all those who knew him. May his soul rest in peace, Perpetual Peace.
