Bernard Pramik Obituary
NORTON -- Bernard E. Pramik Sr., "Berney", 84, passed away peacefully in his home October 23, 2014, surrounded by his loving family.
Berney is preceded in death by his grandson, Gregory Jr. He leaves behind his loving wife of 60 years, Helen; his children and their spouses, Berney and Kathy Pramik, Greg and Kathy Pramik, Nancy and John Wagner, Val and Jamie Craddock, Steve and Kathy Pramik, and Ann Marie and David Faber. Berney's grandchildren, Bernie III, Melissa and (James), Adam, Greg III and (Sarah), Daniel, Hannah, Rachel, Leah, Sarah, and Joshua; and his great grandchildren, Ethan and Guinevere. Berney also leaves behind his brothers, Dick, Jerry, Matthew, and Francis; his sisters, Pat and Maryann.
Berney served our country in the U.S. Army during the Korean War. Following his service to our country, Berney began his wonderful journey with the love of his life, Helen. He was a long time member of SS. Cyril & Methodius Catholic Church where he was a member of the Holy Name Society.
Berney will always be remembered for his service repair work: if it was broke – he'd fix it.
Berney will also always be remembered for all his years as a Boy Scout leader where he guided and provided a long and lasting memory to many young men.
Berney will always be in our hearts. He will be truly missed.
WE LOVE YOU DAD! THANK YOU FOR ALL THE WONDERFUL YEARS!

Berney strides into the room and in a loud voice says, "How are you all doing?" And he meant it. He cared about all he met. His was a life well-lived. We are proud to have been a friend with him here,...and look forward to a reunion in the hereafter. Marty & Patti S.

Berney was the "smartest funny man", or the "funniest smart man" you could ever want to have as a friend. He really was a motivator for me.
We met many years ago, when to me, he was Mr. Pramik . Eventually he insisted that he was "Berney". Regardless of how I addressed him he was always Mr. Pramik to me... my absolutely favorite neighbor.
He must have been so wonderful because of Helen. No one could be so cool without a partner!
God continues to bless us and pour forth His favor on us after earth life. In his new capacity I hope he inspires us to choose the right appliances that we will need as long as we are living here.
I think he'll visit us in the spirit again soon...Berney is that type of person. But if not (because he's too busy or because the Lord has Berney in "Time Out"), we'll
just have to wait until God invites us to his Home too. Eventually we'll be together again.
In the meantime we can be sure that Dad Bernie, Dad Tony and friends are pulling for all of us! More importantly the Lord is watching over us. Thy will be done.
What a wonderful friend!
Amen.

I'll never forget when Uncle Berney, Uncle John, Tom, and Eddie came to North Olmsted to help me paint our house! He will be truly missed and we pray for strength for you Aunt Helen.

Helen and Family: My sympathy and prayers to all of you. Berney and Helen were my parents friends (and landlord at one time). Berney later became my "repair man." I loved watching you two polka. You both are so kind and the perfect match for each other. Berney will be missed by all whose lives he touched.

Helen, Berney and you made great friends. I'll miss him and his great loyalty, friendship and sense of humor. He was so unselfish in organizing class reunions and birthday parties which kept me connected to high school friends. I'll miss him and hope that I haven't lost all my connectivity in Ohio. My God comfort and bless all his family and friends.

Uncle Berney instilled lasting memories in all of our lives. A party was never truly a party until he got there with camera in hand. There will never be another like him. He will be missed. Love to Aunt Helen and the rest of the cousins. Love, Sue Hunter
