I truly enjoyed my breakfast conversations with Bernie when he came down for breakfast at Eisenberg. He loved his wife and kids so much, and was so proud of his wife's book and website.
It was so much fun to watch him take pictures of the snow piled up at Eisenberg during this past winter's snowstorms. He had to get the perfect angle on his new iPad to show how big the icicles were. When he was in a play that they put on over the Holidays, he had it filmed on the same iPad, so we could all watch it the next day. I will always remember Bernie, a kind hearted thoughtful man.
