Bernard W. "Bernie" Chapek

We lost a wonderful man. Uncle Bernie will be truly missed. He always had everyone laughing. I always remember him talking about making potato salad to get you married off. I remember the fun days at Bass Lake. Always opened his home to you. He will always be in my heart and memories.

We lost a wonderful man. Uncle Bernie will be missed terribly. I'm sure many of you can relate to his comments of making potato salad to get you married off, talking Polish, and always the jokester. He always had you laughing. Now, he's making my mom, along with the rest of his friends and family in heaven, laugh. I love him and always will - Patty & Tom Kaye

You will be missed Uncle Bernie. I have many fond memories of Bass Lake and what a great person you always were.

Love - Rick, Brandy, McKenzie and Natalie Kaye

My wonderful Brother Bernie,
I will miss you terribly and think fondly of the great times we had together. Your sense of humor will always reamin with me. I love you dearly...your sister Rita

Dear Nancy & family, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy at the loss of your father. It is not easy to loose a parent, lots of memories and the just knowing that they will not be here to be our backbone of the family anymore, hurts. I just lost my mom on Dec. 10 suddenly to a stroke and my dad 10 years earlier almost to the date. It may sound strange but I felt I had to let you know that others may know how you feel at this time. Sincerely, Phylis (Dooley) Nitz From grade school and...

I have many fond memories of the hospitality that Bernie showed our family at the lake. He was a good friend of my father's (Frank Toth). I am so sorry for your loss.
