When I think of Bernie, an immediate smile washes over my face. We were colleges at Delbro RE what seems like a life time ago now. Our motto was work hard, play hard, have fun, be kind. We most certainly did all that! I remember so many great company functions where he was definitely the life of the party. One particular Lip Sync Skit Night was a stand out… We all worked so hard on our team skits . The prize, bragging rights and a stainless sink with a pair of inflatable lips! Another occasion we came to visit, he showed our kids the trick of Mr McGoo dunking a basket. They were so taken by how talented he was . Bernie was a kind caring man with a heart of gold, loved by all Rest in peace my friend.~ Tracy & James - Posted by: Tracy McLachlan (College) on: May 17, 2025
