Someone was inquiring about my mother's husband's name: Bernard John Rose died

John was a loving and devoted father to his family, Maureen Rose-Stenerson (Tim), Carol Knight (Rick), Brian Rose (Anna) all of Calgary, Bob Rose of Los Angeles, CA, and Sheila Middleton (Colin) of Pickering, ON, and five grandchildren whom he adored, Tyler and Shawn Knight, and Scott Rose all of Calgary, and Zoe and Brianne Middleton of Toronto, ON.
