GILLIGAN--Bernard, on October 5. He was a gentle man and a scholar who was dearly loved by family and friends. His remarkable career as a professor of philosophy at Fordham spanned 60 years. For funeral details, call 914963-1550.
Read MoreBernard was truly a kind and gentle man. He loved life and family to the fullest. I have great memories of dancing the Polka with Bernard at a family Polish wedding. He most energetically outperformed any
remote dancing abilities I might of had.
Bernard had a great smile and, as
was mentioned, a gentle spirit that
will be truly missed. He was a great
friend to our Aunt Mary and brother
Frank.
Love,
Gena and Joe

Bernie has been a family friend for over 50 years. He was a brilliant, kind, and loving man. He taught my father philosophy and traveled to Europe with him. Bernie was really a member of the Egan clan. He was at all the big events. I remember going to eat Greek food with him as a kid and seeing his huge book collection in his apartment in the Bronx. He loved good food and opera. I think he was one of the smartest people I ever knew. We will miss him.
