LORNE GLEN BERGNER

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Lorne “Glen” Bergner peacefully on Thursday, April 17, 2014, in his 71st year, at La Verendrye Hospital in Fort Frances, Ont. with his family by his side.
Glen was born Sept. 3, 1941 in Eriksdale, Man. to Walter and Louise Bergner, and spent his formative years in the Ashern and Camper areas of Manitoba.
Glen was a passionate, strong-willed man whose passions were many. Tending to his garden and providing fresh vegetables it seemed to anyone and everyone, tinkering on his computers and working endlessly on the Bergner family tree and genealogy, spending time in his garage playing with his many toys, and, most importantly, spending time with his numerous grandchildren.
Glen also trapped for many years, taking great pride of his trapline and spoke of that time fondly.
Glen’s work ethic was second-to-none and was clear in any choice he made throughout his life, evidenced by his long career as a forester for Ontario Hydro, from which he retired.
Glen is left to mourn by his daughters, Debbie Paul (Billy) of North Bay, Ont., Dana-Rae Scott (Adam) of Fort Frances, Ont., and Taunia Klem (Guy) of Fort Frances, Ont.
Also surviving is his brother, Lloyd (Cindy) Bergner of Dacotah, Man.
“Pappy” always will be remembered by his grandchildren, Brett, Griffin, Cadence, Ivy, Maverick, Levi, and Wyatt Paul of North Bay, Ont., Declan Scott of Fort Frances, Ont., and Elizabeth and Darian Klem of Fort Frances, Ont.; and nephews, Floyd and Robert Bergner of Winnipeg, Man.
Glen also will be fondly remembered by numerous relatives and friends whose lives he has touched over his years.
In keeping with Glen’s wishes, cremation has taken place and there will be no funeral service.
A family gathering will be held at a later date to commemorate his life and legacy.
In lieu of flowers, in memoriam donations may be made to the Canadian Diabetes Association or the Heart and Stroke Foundation.

“We love you and will miss you Pappy.”
