LUSH, Bernard George "Bernie" - Age 70, Pleasant Hill, Inverness Co,. It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle and great friend, Bernard George "Bernie" Lush after a brief and courageous battle with cancer on Tuesday, November 7, 2017. Born in Sydney on February 14, 1947, he was the son of the late John and Sarah (King) Lush.
Bernie was employed as a mechanic at Seaboard Tire where he worked until his illness. He was also a volunteer fire fighter with the Port Hawkesbury Fire Department. He loved to spend his summers camping in Lake Ainslie, where he made life-long friends and enjoyed campfires over a few Olands. He touched a lot of hearts with his humor, quick wit and sarcastic remarks. He will be greatly missed by those who were fortunate to have known him.
He is survived by his loving wife of 48 years, Gloria Snow, sons, Bernie (Jennifer), Port Hawkesbury, Vance (Pavlina), Langley, BC and daughter, Cindy (Cary), Inverness; grandchildren, Andrew, Nicholas, Tristan, Maegan, Rebecca and Sophia; brother, Jack (Joan), sisters, Cecilia Oliver, Mary Breen, Delores Penny, Pauline (Bud) Somers, Theresa Farrell, all of Sydney and Margie Bethune, Toronto; sister-in-law, Elsie Lush; mother-in-law, Mary Snow, brother-in-law, Kansas (Judy) Snow, numerous nieces and nephews. Bernie was predeceased by his brother, Percy, sisters, Geraldine Stanwick and Katherine Bartlett.
