It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of
Bernie Joseph Goguen at the Dr. Everett Chalmers Hospital on November

Rita and Marcel Goguen of Grand Digue, New Brunswick.
Bernie is survived by his wife, Linda (VanDine) Goguen; his
daughters Denise Doucette (Blake Keirstead) of Riverview, NB, Michelle
Embree (Brian Leger) of Riverview, NB, and Janette Ashton (Mark
Ashton) of Sherwood Park, AB; grandson Dylan Embree of London, ON;

Bernie was a man of few words but was a true salesman all his
life. He first started with Combine Insurance, Standard Life

Paint, and Tibbitts Paint with whom he travelled all of Canada. Before
