I didn't know your dad very well. He contacted me as part of his genealogy research, and he attended one of our family reunions. We do have a family connection, and he filled in some holes in my research, but I never documented the Gaas connection. Your dad was one of the sweetest men I have ever met, and my mom, now age 91, still asks about him. I lost my dad two years ago, so I understand the loss. My best wishes to you all, jan

Missing you Bernard,I know your family misses your sweet nature and kind thoughts, How you lit up talking about your grandsons, Loved talking about the good old days with you and Ella, Wish we could have said goodbye to you , you were a good friend RIP

I am so sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you Mary Ann, Darren, Peter, Andrew, and the entire family. May God's love make your grief bearable.

Most heartfelt condolences to Mary Ann, Darren, Peter and Andrew as well as other family.
There are no words that can take away the pain of loosing such a kind and honorable father and grandfather. He loved his family and they loved him.
May God Bless this family and hold them close in His peace during this time of loss and grief.

We are so sorry to hear about your loss. Please let us know if you need anything.

He was a great dad and grandfather. Your boys always told me stories at lunch. Remember all the good memories.
