The death of Frederick Bertrand Kilfoil "Bert" occurred on Tuesday, February 10, 2015 at the River View Manor surrounded by his family. Born July 20, 1942 in Bath he was the son of the late Louis and Rita (MacIsaac) Kilfoil. He was also predeceased by his wife, Mary; 1 brother, Kevin.

Loving son, husband, brother, uncle and grampy. Growing up along the banks of the Monquart instilled great family values, strong work ethic and deep faith in God. Bert was known for his dedication to family, community and education. He spent many years as a teacher in the Miramichi area and served on the Board of Directors for Beaubear Credit Union and the Carleton Co-operative, Florenceville. Bert was an active member of the Knights of Columbus. In retirement is when he fulfilled his love of farming and agriculture. He had many contributions to the New Brunswick Sheep Breeders Association.
Perhaps best of all, Bert is best known for his vocational skills in carpentry and diesel mechanics. He loved a great game of cards with friends, a good waltz and fiddle tunes. He found great pleasure in all his grandchildren; from their antics on the farm to being a dedicated fan at the girls basketball games. His kindness will always be remembered.

Bert is survived by his four children, Maureen Kilfoil (Scott O'Brien), Andrea Ingraham (Andrew), Marc Kilfoil (Deanna), and Nicole Kilfoil Oulton (Wayne); 8 grandchildren, Erin, Tara, Ty, Josee, Chet, Jorja, Nate and Brooklyn Mary-Joe; 6 siblings, Terry Kilfoil, Edward Kilfoil, Ben Kilfoil, Des Kilfoil, Martha Kilfoil and Monica Whitridge as well as several nieces, nephew and extended family.
