Bernie was a very fine man and great conversationalist. He will be missed. We used to clean his windows and power washed his home and business. I appreciated his giving spirit. God bless you my friend!

Bernie was a classmate. He was sweet, kind, and a very thoughtful caring person. The world was a better place while Bernie was in it.

I just found out that you passed away today. I'd known you since I was a toddler. You were my Daddy's best friend. You're with your wife and daughter now. Maybe even playing "can you top this" while sipping adult beverages together.

Bernie was a brilliant trial lawyer. He chafed under his retirement and wanted to give back to the young lawyers by teaching. He never got to do that, but he could spin a story like nobody else.

Sorry to hear of the loss of Bernie. He was a classmate of ours at FHS, graduating in 1965. Also said to read that his wife and his daughter pre deceased him. He was a fun-loving character and he will be missed.
