Bernard J. Scherer

Bernie was my brother-in-law. I married his brother, Frances Edward (Frank) in 1941. Frank and I had six children. Bernie, his lovely wife Lois, and their son Bernard shared many visits with our family over the years. The times we all spent together are blessed memories. Bernie achieved a lot in his life, and I am honored to have shared the Scherer name. Bernie is reunited with Lois, his mother, father, sisters and all of his brothers now. This give me peace. Till we can all be together...

Bernie Sherer was one of the nicest men I never got to met, but I had the privilege of talking to him many times on the phone. He was the best friend of my late father-in-law, Sam Francis, a fellow Nebraska great, and his beloved Lois and my mother-in-law, were best of friends. Today marks the 2nd anniversary of Sam's passing, so Bernie is in all our hearts today especially. After Sam's death, Bernie never failed to call Lyn every month to check on her, give her words of encouragement and...

As a child I remember being in awe of uncle Bernie's size. As an adult I came to admire him for all he accomplished in his life. To ease my sorrow I feel comfort in knowing that Uncle Bernie and my dad are somewhere passing the old football back and forth. My dad, his older brother was so proud of him as we all were and are still. Memories are gifts they leave us.

Your loving niece,

Although I only had the opportunity to meet Uncle Bernie just a couple of times in my life, he and his life's achievements meant a tremendous amount to me personally...I had nothing but the utmost respect for the man. Because of him, my grandfather (his brother Frances Edward) and my father (Paul Leon Scherer)...I hold my head up high and am proud to be a member of the Scherer family. You will live in my memories...god bless!

Dearest Uncle Bernie, My love and thoughts of you are with me always . Its nice to feel that you are with my Dad now. God Bless you Uncle Bernie,thankyou for all the memories I hold dear to my heart. Until we meet again. Green Bay will remain my favorite team forever, as you are so dear also.
Your neice, Pam
