Richard F. Bernardo

I worked with Dick at Aetna, and it was around the time Jerry Garcia died. He was a solid mainframe guy. He didn't like the Windows machines we had to use and refered to them quite often as "Tinker toys". But those Windows machines connected us to the mainframe, and that is where Dick knew his stuff. We worked on a project together where we had to really "think outside the box" and we came up with some really nice Cobol programming that made it all work. I also went sailing with Dick in...

so sad finding this... remembering the days listening to Richie´s stereo music... always the finest equipment and the best sound! ...we bonded somewhat in our love of motorcycles in the 70s. God bless you Carol.

I met Rich through my husband & the Westbrook Elks. A group of them would get together & have worldly discussions. He loved how I broke my husbands stones & he always asked how my horse was. Joe (my husband) had just talked to him the Wednesday before his death & we were shocked to hear of his passing. He asked if we were coming up from FL this summer & we were looking forward to getting together again. Sending our heartfelt condolences. He will certainly be missed. RIP Rich!!! Joe & Jenn...

Carolyn my deepest sympathy to you and your family. love, Betsy

Dearest Carolyn and family, So sorry to hear about Richie´s sudden passing. I know that he was authentic and happiest on his boat. I will cherish the sail he took us on a few years ago and know that he is just a sail´s way on a different shore for now Carolyn you took such great care of Rich and I am sure appreciated your love and laughter. Peace and hugs.

Carolyn and family, my deepest condolences for your loss. I have often remembered our college years and the times we had together at the Cottage. May Rich rest in pease and may blessings of comfort be with you all.

To Carolyn and the entire circle of Rich´s family and friends: Please accept our heartfelt condolences on Rich´s passing. He lived his life exactly as he wanted to. Carol and I will miss our F Dock chats on the state of the NY Yankees; the economy; state of the Trump presidency; and most importantly the state of F Dock and the weather.
