    We regret to advise of the death of Chief Warrant Officer Fernand “Fern” Brulotte, CD (Ret’d) on Sunday, 24 October 2020 at the Hull, QC  Hospital.

    Fern grew up in a small Quebec Eastern Township village in a family with seven siblings. Joining the Army in 1960, he had a full and successful military career as an Electrician and a Construction Maintenance Technician. Fern’s service included deployment on United Nations Peacekeeping.  Fern retired from the Canadian Forces in 1987 as a Chief Warrant Officer after 27 years of service. 

    Fern was a leader, soldier, peace-keeper, family man, athlete, hunter, fisher, news-junkie, handy-man, and ham radio operator under the call letters VE2 ZV. He faced health challenges with courage.

    Fern’s funeral will be held with military honours on 7 November 2020 at 10:30 AM at the Beechwood Cemetery in Ottawa ON. Due to Covid-19 restrictions, participation is by invitation only. A Celebration of Life will be held as soon as restrictions on gatherings are lifted. In lieu of flowers, a donation to the Legion Poppy Fund would be appreciated. Online Condolences can be sent to the Ottawa Citizen.
