MELANSON, BERNARD "BERNIE" WAYNE
It is with sadness, we announce the passing of Bernard “Bernie” Wayne Melanson which occurred suddenly, yet peacefully at his residence on February 25th, 2015 surrounded by his loving family. Bernie was born on December 20, 1957 in Saint John, NB to the late Vera (Robichaud) and Robert Melanson.

Bernie was a huge Montreal Canadians fan and was very avid about sports cars.

He is also survived by his brother; Jay (Pam) and sisters; Gerry (Frank) Stevens and Bunny Patterson. Bernie will be forever missed by his granddaughter Katelyn Melanson. Also survived by several nieces and nephews. He will especially be remembered and missed by his three special dogs; Teddy, Al and Tucker.
