Dieppe, NB – Bernard “Beau” M. Cain, 91, passed away peacefully, Sunday, June 26, 2022 at Dr. Georges-L.-Dumont University Hospital Centre in Moncton.
Born in Fredericton, NB, he was the son of the late Léo F. and the late Gertrude Cain (Guay).
Beau was born a businessman. He operated a unique business: Cain Ltd. At 455 Gauvin Road in Dieppe, NB since 1963 until his health limited his participation. His partner/wife, Ursula carried on as it was his wishes. She intends to carry on the business in his memory. Cain Ltd. was also spotlighted in the Times and Transcript twice. His life story, especially during his years in Dieppe is well depicted (in his own words) in the 2 articles. **See pictures below to see articles***
In addition to being a businessman, Beau served in the Army and was a lifetime member of the Legion #1126192 in Fredericton. He was also a great friend to scores of people and often helped members of his community.
Beau loved animals; horses were his business, but he also loved them. He loved dogs and over the years dogs often greeted customers. He kept bees and produced bee products to sell in the store. Anyone travelling Gauvin Road over the years knew he fed the ducks, at feeding time a large flock would be waiting in the yard for the seeds that he purchased just for them.
Beau will be greatly missed by his common-law partner of 50 years: Ursula Pacarskie; his stepdaughters: Annamay Mullin, Joanne Dombroskie (Richard) and Maryjane Burnet (Bobby) all of Killaloe, ON; his stepson who has helped with the business over the years: Richard Maika (Cathy) of Havelock; he was a grandfather to Ursela’s grandchildren, especially Richard’s daughter: Fawn Maika and to Ursela’s daughters’ children that lives in Ontario; his brother: Murray Cain (late Joan) of Quispamsis; his nieces: Catherine McGill, Beth Stymiest, Anna Marie Cain, Patricia Bremmer; his nephews: Lawrence Michael Cain, Leo Cain and Mark Cain. Beau had no children of his own.
Besides his parents, he was predeceased by his brother: Patrick (Kay).
