I am so sorry about Bernie’s passing. I remember enjoying our friendship and laughs we shared in high school. What a special person he was and I remember well his love for Carolyn.

So saddened by the news of Bernard's death. I truly adored him & he was always a very fun person to hang around growing up. He used to chase me as a child, & sometimes with scissors, threatening to cut my long hair off. Then told me repeatedly that if he didn't like me, he wouldn't of done such a thing. I'm grateful to have known him & I still laugh when I think about those times. I miss my cousins & it's so sad everyone is so busy with life that we no longer see each other. Love, Sandy Harrier~”
