I learned today of the passing of Canon Rev. Bert Cheesman while online.. I am saddened to learn this news, especially after all this time. A Truly Wonderful man who was there for everyone. He was so loved & now missed. RIP Canon..

Canon Cheeseman is the first priest I can remember, and was part of my earliest memories of church. It feels as though he has been part of the fabric of St. Philip’s Church and community forever. He was always great for a laugh, sincere in his counsels, and sound in his faith. I am happy and grateful to have known him. May he rest in peace and rise in glory.
Love and prayers to Dawn and all the family, from “Justin”, Stephanie and our family.

To Dawn and all the Cheeseman Family;
It is with deep sadness we heard of Bert’s passing. I (Bill) saw him last at one of our regular Retired Clergy meetings, at which time we chatted for a while. We can certainly give God thanks for his long and faithful ministry as a priest and a servant of his Lord whom he served so well.; ..and, .Dawn, for your part in that ‘ministry’ which we are sure you shared with him.
Please accept our condolence. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. God Bless.
Bill and Rowena (Rice)
