John was the son of the late Joseph R. Bertrand and Alice L. (Callahan) Bertrand. Mr. Bertrand passed away Friday morning July 3rd. He was 79.
John enjoyed many hobbies, and interests. He belonged to the Watertown Senior Art Group, in which, he painted beautiful watercolors; he also belonged to the medical reserve.
At home, you would find him reading a history book, by the fireplace; watching political television, for which he had a passion for politics. Outside, you could catch him gardening, in the back yard, sipping a cup of coffee, or simply taking his beloved Roxie for endless walks. Away from home, he enjoyed taking trips to the White Mountains with his family, and travelled many places around the globe. Most of all, he prayed, everyday, for his late daughter Suzanne, and his late sister Rita, whom he loved unconditionally.
