Bernie was a good friend for more than 50 years. In the last five years after he gave up golf, we talked almost every day. Breakfast and lunch together or with addition friends was commonplace for us. He was my "Bubala"! I miss him every day. RIP

I have always loved my brother Bernard so very much. From the time I was a child he was always good to me, looking after me and making me laugh. Even as an adult he helped me through the good and bad times. I will miss him dearly. Much love R.I.P.

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

I am so sad thinking about the loss of Bernie. I knew him for sixty years. He was always more than kind and generous. Always a friend. Always supportive. Never judgmental. Always had a smile and laughter. He was part of my family. I will miss him.

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
