June 23, 1945 – August 25, 2022

Bernard was born on the Grey Islands to Benedict and Susan Jones on June 23, 1945. Bern moved to Lewisporte when he was 15, and later moved to Croque where he met and married Josephine McGrath, whom he would spend the rest of his life, and raise a family together.

He will be forever loved and sadly missed by his wife of 57 years (Josephine), his daughters Bernice, Louise (George), Bertha, Sharon (Eddie), Sherry, and grandson Travis; his brothers Len and Bob, and sisters Evelyn and Nora, as well as a large circle of grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces and nephews whom he dearly loved.

Bern was predeceased by his loving parents Benedict and Susan Jones, and brothers George, Jim and Fred.

The family would like to send a thank you to those who helped in any way, and especially to all the staff at John M Gray, who treated him with such love and care during his time there.
