Herbert Bruce Best passed away peacefully on February 25, 2026, in Edson at the age of 96. Born on August 6, 1929, in Summerside, Prince Edward Island, he has been a resident in Edson since 1978.
He has gone to his heavenly reward; joining his wife of 67 years (Alice) and his eldest son (Raymond). Left to mourn him are his 5 remaining children, 10 grandchildren and 10 great grandchildren.
He was an avid golfer until he was forced to quit for health reasons. He replaced this with a passion for building wooden model ships, doing jig- saw puzzles and solving word and number puzzles.
His calm and wisdom will be greatly missed.
A graveside service will be held in Calgary at some future date yet to be decided.
