Obituary of Bernard Frederick McHarg

The family of Bernard McHarg wishes to announce his passing on Wednesday, June 5th, 2019 at the Turnbull Nursing Home. He was born on February 11th, 1930. Bernard was a proud 3rd Degree Charter and Honorary Life Member of Council #8094, and also a proud 4th Degree Member of Assembly #616, Knights of Columbus. He worked for Thornes Hardware for many years. However, his true passion was photography. He also loved travel and The Royal Family. He was a well known, Saint John wedding photographer who was always in high demand. Bernard was so proud of his photos of The Queen, Lady Di and The Royal Family. He always shared those special photos with us stating “You can’t charge family.” He usually followed with, “I’ve only got one shot left.” Rest in Peace Bernard.
