Bram was a hard worker, entering the workforce in his early teens as a cooks’ helper on a fishing schooner to the Labrador. He was well known for his work ethic, integrity,and encouragement. For most of his life Bram worked as a cook in the logging camps, on construction sites and on the sea, which he loved most of all, as this was an opportunity to meet and extend warm hospitality, often offering a delicious bowl of soup or “cut of pie” and lively conversation.

The joy of his life was his family. He was a loving and faithful family man, married to Margaret for 67 years, and he took every opportunity to brag about his children, grandchildren &
great-grandchildren.

He will be remembered for his love of singing, sharing stories from his travel and adventure experiences, his influential concern and care for all, and for his deep commitment to his family, his church, where he served as Corps Sergeant Major at The Salvation Army in Robert's Arm for almost 15 years, his community, and above all, to his Lord. Well done, good and faithful servant!
