Condolences to the Dow family. Eternally grateful to the family for their gracious hospitality extended to me while attending Massey Business College.

My prayers and thoughts are with the entire Dow immediate and extended family. I worked with many of them for 12 years and know that the legal community will certainly miss his great leadership.

I would like to express my condolences to the Dow family. Please be strong in your perseverance of faith. Mr. Dow exemplied courage, bravery, zealousness and charity of the highest order. May we all learn from his indomitable spirit.

I worked for Bernie many times and was always impressed by his character. My condolences to his family and to Fran, Melvin and Abe.

Everything he said and did was always precisely right.

To a worthy high school debate opponent of 55 years ago, friend,and colleague at the bar, may you rest in eternal peace.

"2004 Texas Super Lawyer" was probably the least of his many accolades. Husband, father, brother, mensch - these were the titles that I'm sure mattered most to him. He spoke of family even in his CLE courses. He will be missed a great deal.

I only knew Bernard for a few months, but it was in the first few minutes that I knew Bernard was a special man. I'll never forget Bernard's gentle spirit and the kindness he showed toward everyone he met and knew. I am blessed to have known Bernard. My condolences to the Dow family and all of Bernard's friends.
