Frank's Late Bro, Don, was Bernie's 1st marriage F-I-L
Frank and I remember Bernie from 1978-79 in So Ca, as a joyful and super friendly man, who would make us laugh, and his upbeat personality was contagious. He loved everyone, and truly adored his two children (bio- 1st marriage).
Frank and I were dating, and Frank took me to meet the family. Bernie would make me feel comfortable, in a room full of strangers. Bernie was so full of life.So happy he found Peggy later on.Our hearts are aching for those who shared his life.
