So sorry to hear of this. He (and his wife Mrs Bernsdorf were) fellow members of my late fathers graduating class at Arlington and they played football there together. His son Mark and I remain very close friends. I will be forever grateful for the continuing support and they showed me and my family especially after we left Arlington to go to Dublin. Their Fourth of July parties were legendary. RIP, after a very worthy life. Thoughts are with Mrs Bernsdorf, Mark and the entire family. Love, John and Sue Collins and family.
