BERNHARDS, Voldemars (Voldis)  - 1922 - 2018 With sadness, we announce the passing of Voldemars Bernhards in his 96th year.

Loving father and father-in-law of Uldis Bernhards and Elayne Tanner, step-father of Kristine (Dadzis) Bougie (Richard) and Peter Dadzis (Rita).

Loving husband of the late Ruta Krasts Bernhards and the late Austra Bernhards.

Voldis came to Canada in the early '50s.

Always a hard worker, he enjoyed his long career as a land surveyor field man. He was fiercely proud of his Latvian heritage and culture. Voldis lived a simple life and loved music, dance and to banter and debate with friends.

His love of nature guided his life and when he was not gardening at his cottage or home, he could often be seen walking about his Toronto Beaches neighbourhood or at the Latvian Cultural Centre.

He was stubborn and determined and would not accept help from anyone. He lived his life his way and will be missed. Voldis passed away at 5:45 a.m., just as the sun rose in the sky.

The air was still cool and the dew was on the ground. It was a time of day that he loved to be outside and we think he chose that time to take his final journey.

So that they can continue to provide excellent care, in lieu of flowers, please send donations in memory of Voldemars to: Kristus Darz Latvian Home Foundation, 11290 Pine Valley Dr., Woodbridge, ON L4L 1A6, 905-832-3300 ext. 221.

A memorial service is planned to honour Voldis on June 21, 2018 at 2:00 p.m. at the York Cemetery, 160 Beecroft Rd., North York, Section 16 followed by a Jani (John's) Day bonfire and celebration for family at our home, where he spent many happy days. He would like that.
