My Brother-in-Law, My Co-worker, My Hunting Buddy and My Very Good Friend. We have many fond memories and many stories from hunting up at the cabin and with Bill O.
See ya later, Stephen

It's not mentioned in the obituary that Bernie worked at Pomeroy's store on public square in Wilkes-barre where he was my boss in the late 1960s-early 1970s.
He was a great boss...always a fair guy.
