Bert Rabinovitch: The Passing of One of Our Own

We are deeply saddened to announce that one of our volunteers, Bert Rabinovitch, passed away on Sunday, May 19, 2019. Bert, who since 2017, served as a supervisor of membership & training, was dedicated to not only strengthening the training program, but to bettering the vCOP organization for all its members. Bert had also demonstrated his leadership and passion in managing the Smoke Detector Program, assisting in the training of its members as well as providing detailed reports on the program's coverage and success. Bert's efforts and contribution to vCOP will continue to live on in the new members he taught, as well as in the veterans he coached. An active member for almost 10 years, he will be dearly missed by his numerous patrol partners and friends. 

Like everyone else who volunteered with Bert, you could clearly see how very proud he was to wear the vCOP uniform and "give back" to the Cote Saint-Luc community. On behalf of the vCOP supervisors and membership, we extend our heartfelt condolences to Bert's family and friends.

The funeral will take place on Tuesday, May 21, 2019 at 10:00 AM at Paperman and Sons. Any member who wishes to attend his funeral, may wear their uniform to honour Bert's dedication to the vCOP organization.  For more information, please click here.
