Bert attended SS No. 12 public school, graduating at the age o 11 years. during the next five years, he served his farmer's ap prenticeship at home and on neighboring farms, before at- tending the Wingham Business College. While there, he worked after school hours at the Lloyd Sash and Door factory. At the age of 16, he accepted a position with the Canada Machin- ery Corporation, at their show- room in Toronto. He walked to work each day, from just east of Yonge Street to the place of busi- ness near High Park, until he could afford to buy a bicycle,. During that time, he made many friends at the Methodist Church, located at Carlton and Yonge, (The House of Friendship). Many of those old friends., still remain- ing, travelled long distances to be at his recent funeral service in Lawrence Park Community Church, on Bayview Ave. in To- ronto. After 18 months in Toronto, he was transferred to the main plant of the Canada Machinery Corpor- ation at Galt. During his years here, he received a number of romotions, until he became ales manager. It was from that ost, that he resigned to enter the ministry. While living in Galt, he was a member of Wesley Church,. taught Sunday School and was in- volved in Young People's work. As president of the Young People of the Hamilton Conference, he was influential in setting up Of- ficer Training camps to promote the work of the. chin ch. he was also an active member of the YMCA and continued to be so, up to the time of his death. Bert was instrumental in the formation of night. classes at the Galt Collegiate Institute. It was f there, together with many long hours of home study, that he - passed all the necessary sub- - jects, which allowed him to enrol at university. He travelled many., milesdown to night classes at Hamilton's McMaster Univer- sity. That along with summer courses at Queen's University, earned him his BA degree in 1934. He was ordained into the minis- try of the United Church in 1939. While serving the Pastoral Charge at Whitby, some years later, he received his BD degree from Emmanuel College. He served in churches at Co- balt, South Porcupine and Whit- by, before coming back to To- ronto, to The House of Friend- ship, where he joined his friend of long standing, Dr. James Finlay, as co -pastor. Together, they coped with the many social prob- lems of downtown Toronto and also conducted a radio ministry,' through the facilities of CKEY. After the Carlton St. Church , (The House of Friendship) united t with the Sherbe ne St. Church and became St. luuke's, Bert went 1 on to become co -pastor there, be- a fore going to the Fred Victor Mis- sion, for nine years, seven of a them as superintendent.
