In Loving Memory of Bernie Fields
It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved Bernard "Bernie" Fields.
A survivor of T-cell Lymphoblastic Lymphoma, Bernie's journey with CanCare began when he joined CanCare in October 2012 as part of Training Class #59. From that moment, he became an unwavering advocate for our mission. Throughout the years, Bernie's dedication shone brightly as he served multiple terms on the Board, where he chaired both the Corporate Relations and the Client & Volunteer Experience committees.
Even in the face of adversity, Bernie's resilience was awe-inspiring. His battle with Thymoma and subsequent Thoracotomy only reinforced his determination and strength. Bernie's sharpness of mind and unwavering spirit left an indelible mark on all those fortunate enough to know him.
Bernie's commitment to CanCare was unparalleled. He tirelessly shared our mission of providing support to those facing cancer, ensuring that no one felt alone in their journey. His efforts in recruiting volunteers and leaders have left a lasting impact on our organization.
In remembrance of Bernie, let us continue to carry forward his legacy of compassion and service. He will be deeply missed, but his spirit will forever live on in the hearts of all who had the privilege of knowing him.
