So sorry to hear about Yogi's passing. He was a dear friend and, over the years a teammate. Yogi always had nothing but kind words and was a gentle soul. I will miss him so very much. Rest in peace my friend. Brian Kreis, Mohawk Electronics

My memories of 'Bernie' go back to the 1970's as he took a bunch of young knuckleheads like me and coached us in Y league basketball. It grew into outings, dinner and a great friendship at the time. Haven't seen him in many years now but often thought of him and those times with a smile. My thoughts and prayers to his family and friends.

Our Deepest sympathy to Nancy and family. We were blessed to have had Yogi as a friend and a teammate on the Cyclones. Yogi always called me the "big oyster" and I am not sure where he came up with that name but it seemed to stick for many years. Yogi was a leader by example and a respected peer. He left us with fabulous memories.
