To Mrs. Bern and family,

My deepest condolences to your family on Mr. Bern's passing. I was blessed to know your family and to be able to spend so many dinners and visits at your house as a teenager back on the 70's. Mr. Bern was a charming man, with a quick and wonderful wit. With always a smile and a wink, he loved and lived life to the fullest.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family.

With our love,

Kevin and Shirley Buckley &...

You are in our thoughts and prayers this morning. I have many wonderful memories of Jerry Sr. at the store and at the lovely Thanksgiving dinners we celebrated at your home while we lived in Chicago. May he rest in peace and may your hearts be filled with loving-kindness and memories of warm times together on this sad day.

The entire Brody/Bruton clan sends their deepest sympathy to the entire Bern family. Jerry was a gentleman and a "gentle" man. Truly a life well spent.
