Bernie was a classmate of mine all through grade & High school. Though it's been many years since I last saw him, he was still remembered by me to be a great guy, a loyal friend & always had a smile for everybody. I don't believe Bernie had an enemy ever. So sorry to hear of his passing. May god watch over your family during this tough time.

We were so sorry to hear about Burnie's passing. Our family has known Burnie since he was a young boy. He was always smiling and full of life and there was never a dull moment in the neighborhood with Burnie around. He always seemed to add a ray of sunshine on many cloudy days. Burnie is a great loss to all of us. Our thoughts and prayers are with Burnie's family at this most difficult time.
