Very sorry to hear the news that our old Alaskan friend Bernie had left this world. Knowing Bernie since the late 70's we can recall many fun times before we left Alaska in 1998 after a very special farewell cigar smoke with Bernie. Fishing in Homer, helping with landscaping his Homer house, white water rafting on the Nenana, having fun in his Sauna at the Sand lake house and of course the hospitality we always enjoyed during our trips from Kenai to Anchorage.
With many fond memories- Ed & Shirley Billiet
