Fern is survived by his loving wife of 66 years Lucille (née Aubrey), his children Suzanne, André (Donna), Michel (Denyse Vincent), grandchildren Daniel, Robert (Céline), and great-granddaughter Marcela. The family would like to thank all the wonderful caregivers who supported Fern since he moved to New Edinburgh Square with Lucille four years ago and give special recognition to the staff of Cité Parkway Retirement Home for the exceptional care and the compassion shown to Fern in the last 18 months. A private memorial service has been held. For anyone wishing to honour Fern’s memory, donations may be made to the Dementia Society of Ottawa and Renfrew County (www.dementiahelp.ca).
