I would like his son, Jeffrey, to contact me. I was very close with Blair and would occasionally call Bernie to update me about Blair until his passing. Although Jeffrey was a few years older, I do remember him.

I shall miss sharing laughter, Florida vacations, Breakfast, Lunches & Dinners and appreciate & love the wonderful memories Leo and I had with both Bernie and Ann through many years. It was an honor and our good fortune in considering Bernie and Ann our dearest and most cherished best friends.
My condolences to their family.

I cannot believe that Bernie has, also, passed away.

I was going to call on him, tomorrow, to bring him the Oyster Crackers that he loved me to bring so that he could eat them with his soup. And now this.

Rest in peace, Bernie.
