I had the pleasure of working together with both James and Bernie Falls. Anytime there was concrete involved, Bernie was ready to roll. He was a hard worker and will be missed. I am praying for the family at this difficult time.

I had an opportunity to work with Bernie and James Falls together a few times. Anytime there was a project involving concrete, Bernie was ready to go. I am thankful that I had a chance to work with him . He was a hard worker and he will be missed.. I am praying for the family at this difficult time.

I often think of my father, James Falls, and Bernie working together, it was always a comical experience. Bernie had such a great sense of humor and I know how much it meant to the family that he came back to this area to live out the rest of his life. My cousins, Lynette and Patricia, and their husbands, took such great care of Bernie and my heart goes out to them. Much love...
