Bernard Vernon Dunnigan April 11, 1907 – May 9, 2003 married the love of his life, Eva Mary DeGrace, and together they raised three children; Donald of Tacoma (wife Diane), John (now deceased), and Colleen Copland of Bellingham. From the beginning they were a team, our mother and dad. Always working together, sharing, giving, caring, or as Dad liked to say “pulling in the same direction!” We will always be thankful for their beautiful example. From his youth Dad was a hard worker and could do many things. While still in his 20’s he survived a near-fatal coalmine explosion and cave-in in the mines under Bellingham. As World War II loomed, Dad had a young family, but joined the war effort by becoming a shipwright at the Bellingham Shipyards. Following the war years, he fulfilled his true vocation in life by becoming a carpenter and built many homes in our community. He loved to putter in his shop, building, fixing, repairing. Many in the area remember his kindness and eagerness to be of any help in their projects. The wonderful vegetable and flower gardens he kept for years were a joy to us, as he loved to share with family and friends. Dad was a gracious host. Through the years we gathered around their table or they at ours, as Dad told again and again of his experiences in life. Now the telling of those stories is engraved in our minds and hearts forever. Belief in God and active participation in church community was vital to their lives. Dad was a 50-year usher at Assumption Parish, later at Sacred Heart, and did much volunteer work. He was a life-long member of the Knights of Columbus, the Tall Elks, his carpenter union, and NARFE association. Bernard was preceded in passed away June 4, 2003 at St. Joseph Hospital. He was married Theodora Whitesmith in 1942. He served in the US Army in France, Germany, and Belgium as a tank commander. After World War II, he served with ACS Signal Corp. until retiring. He was a member of the American Legion and the Knights of Columbus here in Bellingham. In his free time, George enjoyed photography, woodworking, gardening, farming, and golfing. He is survived by his loving wife of 60 years, Theodora Whitesmith Brennan; son Patrick (Mary) Brennan of Toledo, WA; son David (Pamela) Brennan of Anchorage, Alaska; daughter Janice (Ike) Eisenhut of Ferndale; nine grandchildren, eight great- grandchildren and two great-great- grandchildren. He is also survived by one sister Dorothy Lukins of Michigan.
