Our dear friend, Bernie...you left us too soon. Your smiling face, great laugh, and beautiful sweaters from your mom will be just a small token of the great memories and cherished friendship we will hold dear to our hearts. The Charlie O's gang will not be the same without you. We love you and will miss you always. Until we meet again, my friend. Slàinte!

Bernie, You were a genuinely great person to know and work with. You always knew how to brighten one's day with your smile and wonderful personality. I will never forget all the chocolate chip cookies and all our conversations we had about your wondeful mom. I will never forget you. You will always be in my thoughts, my heart and my prayers. Rest in peace. I will miss you very much. I still have the picture of you and me that Loretta took which I will cherish.

I worked with Bernie for a short time, but it felt like I knew him forever. He always brightened a room with his personality and good nature. You will truly be missed Bernie, but I know you will find peace and happiness being with your family again. Rest in peace, Marie.

Bernie, you were a pleasure to work with and to know. Even though you left this firm a few years ago, you always popped in to say hello and to brighten the day. We had some great laughs and I will miss you. God bless you and keep you.

Bernie,
I worked with you for many years in the DA's Office. I am honored that you called me Ma. I will always remember your turkey legs for lunch. You were always there to help out. Thanks for being there for me in so many ways.

I had the honor and privilege to count Bernie as a co-worker and friend. He was one of the most genuinely nice people I have ever met. He was always quick with a joke or light hearted comment when it was most needed. In sum, Bernie was truly one of the "good guys." My prayers are with him and his family.

I had the pleasure of working with Bernie a few years ago. He was one of the nicest people and was always willing to help someone out when needed. He had such a great personality and always brightened a dull day when he'd walk in the door. I am honored to have known him. Bernie was a good guy and will be missed. Bernie, you're in my thoughts.

Bernie,
I feel truly blessed to have called you my friend. I pray that you have found the peace and comfort that you were seeking. I will always remember the good times and the stories we shared over the years. You left this world too early and will be missed greatly.
Till we meet again on the Fiddlers Green.
