I had been searching for an old friend, Audrey Bernich on line and came across the obituary. I remembered her dad Mr. Michael Bernich when he was a mechanic many years ago on 3rd Avenue near the Bowery. My condolences to the Bernich family. If this message should come across to Audrey, please call me Lucy Chu Swain at 917-653-3068. I am sorry for your loss.
