Just learned of Bernie's passing. He helped me build a client base when my business was new and just overall a great guy. RIP Bernie.

Bernie was a long-treasured friend. With his
passing, my trio of legal mentors is now gone.
A chapter of my life has closed, and my heart
goes out to Susie and his family. In thinking
about Bernie, I will remember that he loved a
challenge and loved adventure. I will think of his smile; like his brother, he never met a
stranger. Bernie was a collector of cameras,
cars, boats, electronics, and friends. He will
be missed. Now reunited with family, collies

Bernie was a great colleague of mine. A man with a big heart and a Chesterfield cigarette in his right hand. Crackerjack polygrapher and investigator. An outstanding man who I was proud to know. He will always remain in my thoughts and prayers.
Much Love,
