Condolence: Mr. Cain was so much more than a guidance councillor. He was a dear friend, and a very important role model for me. Mr. Cain helped me to graduate, to deal with hardships and along with other teachers, inspired me to join the Catholic Church. My life is beautiful largely thanks to his friendship. I am so very sorry for this tremendous loss.

Condolence: To the Cain family,
Please accept our deepest condolences at this difficult time.
From our family to yours,
Judith Mulvihill

Condolence: Mr. Cain will be fondly missed. He was a bright memory of high school for me and has & will always live in my heart. Much love to the family.

Condolence: Dear Ann & Family. Our thoughts & prayers are with you all, at this difficult time.

Condolence: From the moment we moved into the home across the street from Bert and Ann in 2009 we have been blessed daily by their incredible loving kindness. Instead of a cheese plate or cookies, Bert was eager to welcome us to the neighbourhood with an introductory paddle in Algonquin Park. From that point forward Bert became our personal guide and spawned in us a new love for the outdoors through many hikes, paddles, evening snowshoe treks and owl watches.

We've enjoyed afternoons on the Cains' front porch and delicious meals in their home. Bert would regularly stop over with a fresh danish from the bakery, or even better a homemade dessert which he and Ann had dressed up complete with whipped cream and berries. Whenever Josh was away on a military exercise or tour, Bert took it upon himself to take care of our snow removal, water our gardens and bring in our mail. There was simply no end to the lengths that he went to to in helping wherever help was needed, and sometimes before we knew we needed it. Never was this more apparent than when our 6-week old son fell ill and Bert and Ann stepped in as surrogate parents and grandparents, making sure that we were cared for. Bert truly was a special man who made loving his neighbour his life's work. He will be deeply missed and our thoughts and prayers continue to be with the entire Cain family.

Condolence: With a heavy heart my condolences go out to the Cain Family. I recall my time as a student at Bishop Smith and hanging out with Matthew. And, for a while, during grade 9 and 10, I was at the Cain home on a daily basis just to hang out. It seemed like a second home. Bert and your entire family were very warm and welcoming to me despite the fact that I was less than a stellar student. At a time when I had little respect for anyone, Bert earned my respect as he was firm but fair. A quality I learned to appreciate during my many trips to the office and one I strive to apply in my profession as a police officer. I am certain Bert has influenced the lives of many students like myself. The life lessons he has taught me have helped shaped the person I have become. Bert will be greatly missed and I am so very sad for your loss. Bert truly was a hero in life, not in death.

My deepest condolences,

Jorg Stockmann

Condolence: On behalf of myself and my co-workers at Fraser's Clothes Shop: we are so sorry to hear of Bert's passing. He and Ann are like part of the Fraser's family as we have come to know them and enjoy their visits over the years. Take care and God bless you all.

Condolence: Nora and I were so sad to hear of Bert's passing. We recalled our move to Pembroke back in 1977 from Niagara Falls. Our home there hadn't sold and the real estate agent advised us to leave our furniture until we sold. When Bert heard of our limited furniture arrangements, he immediately brought us a crib for our newborn. Such acts of kindness are fondly remembered for a long time,and Bert left a legacy of many such acts.

With fond memories of our years in the Champlain English Depratment.

Our condolences to the Cain family.

I will never forget all the help he gave me through high school at Bishop Smith without his encouragement I don't think I would be where I am today and I will always be greatful for his influence.

Condolence: Condolences to the Cain family. I was in a play with Bert in High School...."I Remember Mama".My thoughts and prayers are with you.
