You will be missed Brother Bernie.   Bill and Penny.

My heart is broken.
I see Bernie and hear his ever confident, calming words and my soul weeps. He’s my cousin, and I loved him.  He gave me inspiration to achieve my hearts desire by simply doing my best and be assured that - that would be enough. He had a beautiful heart,and soul. I’ll carry him with me always. I am blessed to have had him as my cousin.

I just love my cousin Bernie he was So kind to his family When he would come to town he would always stop by to see us he loved his family he will be truly missed I know that he had Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior so I will see my cousin again

I am heartbroken about Bernie's passing. I've known him since the mid 80s; we worked together for decades for ARCO and then ConocoPhillips. I have great memories of the time we spent together, working, laughing and sometimes arguing! If ever anyone deserves to go to heaven it's Bernie. A truly good and honorable man.
You were loved by many.  Rest in peace my old buddy.

I have known Bernie for 30 years I have been his workout buddy, he is my best friend. I have a big hole in my heart and in my life now that Bernie is with God. He will be missed for a long time. GOD  SPEED Bernie!

Words can not describe the overwhelming sadness that I felt upon hearing the news of Bernie’s untimely passing. Bernie was the epitome of kindness, caring and giving back to his community.  I will fondly remember all of our good times and his infectious laughter. Our thoughts and prayers are with Debbie, Chris, Tricia and their families.  Till we meet again old friend.

I had the pleasure and the honor of working with Bernie in Alaska for several years. He was a consummate professional who took great pride in his work. As a work colleague, he was always positive and helpful to all. I offer my sincere condolences to his family.

It was just this summer I finally got to meet Bernie when he and my cousin Debbie came to Decatur, Ga. I told him I had waited for almost 45 years to meet him and it was very special!  We enjoyed breakfast and took pictures. It will always remain a lasting memory in my heart that I will cherish.
RIP Bernie I’m so glad we finally met you were a very special man.

I was ao sorry and surprised to learn of Bernie's recent and unexpected passing.  I was lucky enough to get to know Bernie over the 5 years I served with him on the Bean's Cafe board. Bernie was a smart, kind, funny and energetic man.  His passing is not only a huge loss to his wife and children but also to everyone he came into contact with.  Bernie will be missed by all who knew him.

Bernie, his brother Vincent and I grew up in Beaver Falls, Pa.  I am heartbroken  hearing of his death.  He was such a great friend and fine person. There are so many memories we all shared together.  My deepest sympathy  to his wife and family.  I will miss you buddy.  R. I. P Bernie

I am saddened and sorry to hear of Bernie's passing. He was a gentleman in the finest sense of the word. The world is truly a lesser place without him.
