Had the honor and privilege of meeting then-Capt. DiBernardo when I was assigned to the public affairs office in Camp Pendleton (1974 - 1976). He was a great inspiration to me and it was indeed a true honor to have met him and conversed with him on several occasions. I am truly very sorry to learn of his passing. God bless always his family and loved ones.

To the Family of Jim DiBernardo:
Jim was our insurance broker since 1998. He was a wonderful man to work with. Jim spoke of his family often during his visits to our office. He was kind and considerate with my employees when explaining insurance issues to them. He will be missed very much by us. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends. God Bless.
