Bernie was a long-time member of St. Jerome's choir and the lighting manager for Christmas time at Winchester Park, and a dear friend. He was a welcomer, made you fell at home and comfortable, a hard worker, and helped get things accomplished, and he was a sagacious friend, he always had a good perspective on things. He will be truly missed at choir and by all who knew him. We can be reassured by the fact that we have a voice in the choir of heaven who has shown us how to get there by his good example in words and deeds.I will miss him as a friend but know he has gone through his "perfection" in this life. My sincerest condolences to all his family, especially to his wife, Helen.
