Helmut Bernard

My sister Charlotte remembers visiting the Bernards (with Charlotte's then-spouse Bill) in 1979 not long before Charlotte's family re-located to California. The couples hit it off nicely and it was a pleasant memory for Charlotte to take with her when moving from Michigan.

I don't think I met Helmut other than at my sister's wedding, but it sounds like he was much like Etta, with whom we grew up in Detroit. Etta is good-natured, down-to-earth, sensitive, and fun to be...

We will miss this sweet, smart, funny gentle soul. So many wonderful memories from my childhood with Helmut and your family. May his memory always be a blessing.
