Obituary of Bernard Joseph Dawson
DAWSON, Bernard Joseph (BUD)
1931-2023
Passed away peacefully October 16, 2023 with his kids at his side at the age of 92. Best friend and husband of the late Florence (nee Kennette). Awesome Dad to Maureen, Bernie (Maureen McCloskey), Christopher and Mike. Beloved grandfather to Kayleen. Brother to Tom (Toni), Lee Bush (Mike), late Joe and late Joanne & Al Meloche. Survived by many cousins, nieces and nephews.
Dad worked for over 35 years at Windsor Salt Mine. He enjoyed life to the fullest especially with his family. He loved being outside in the sun working on his tan whether it was fishing, tinkering with an engine or going to NASCAR race with his boys. He will be missed by his coffee club at Timmy’s. Special thanks to some awesome PSWs (Jim, Sandy, Breanne & Anne) who helped Dad every day, and the staff on 6th North at Met Hospital for making Dad comfortable.
