Bert Robert Stringer

Bert was the son of the late Percy and Jean Stringer (nee Gilbert). Formerly from Picton, Ontario, he resided in Nanaimo, BC

Bert leaves behind his siblings; Joanne (Harold) McGrayne, Ivan (Predeceased), Colleen /Tiny Collins, Butch (Violet) Stringer, Gail (Merv) Hern, Diana (Daniel) Savari, Janie (Donny) Markland, Dina (Dave) Hummel and Ken (Predeceased). Also many nieces and nephews and his amazing family out west, Cheryle Schmidt and her family. They were always there.

Bert was very active in the Nanaimo Lions Club, and sat as President for 2 years. During his time with the Lions, he helped with many fundraisers and events. One of his favorite things to do was to play Santa at the Christmas events for the children. Bert was always willing to lend a helping hand to anyone that needed it. He had a sharp wit and was quick to use it.

Our family also wants to thank all the people out west for their kind words and friendship and love they gave our brother. A special thank you to the NRGH emergency room and the first floor nurses where he spent his final days. The care and support they showed Bert and our family was immensely appreciated.
