Earlier today
I worked with Bernie and his dad at the Butler Correctional Facility. Bernie Jr.
was ALWAYS the consummate gentleman. He had a great sense of humor and was always there to listen and be of assistance. I REALLY enjoyed working with both of these men! I am sure that GOD will wrap HIS loving arms around Bernie in his new Heavenly home. May GOD ALMIGHTY grant his survivors strength and comfort to endure this difficult time. GOD bless you all!
