A giant in the hockey world with that little twinkle in his eyes. The best goalie EVER who could still connect with the fans on a one-to-one basis, even for a few seconds at a meet and greet or such. SO glad I was old enough to feel the Flyers craziness and energy that was all around Philly during the 70s. Big hugs to Bernie's inner circle.

So very Sad about Bernie. He was the best 'technical' goalie I ever saw - he made playing goal look so easy, thanks to his mentor Plante during their 2 yrs in TO. More so, he was simply a nice, genuine person (and a big animal lover). I saw him play in person a few times, at the Spectrum and Cap Center and also saw him at the old Hershey Arena as a scout (my 'home rink since for nearly 60 yrs) often during the Bears/Flyers association, but never actually met him. My late mother-in-law did, however, at a restaurant in Avalon. As everyone else who met Bernie proclaimed: He was a true gentleman! I did this quick sketch below to honor him - being greeted by his best student, greatest teacher, and a few more recent additions to the 'eternal rink'. God rest his loveable soul!

Debbie and I are big Flyers fans especially during the broad Street bullies era. We had the opportunity to meet Bernie at a Flyers game in the Commerce Bank box when he stopped in to say hello. Debbie and l talked quite a long time with Bernie since Debbie was in charge of the banks box that night. We even got an invite to a fishing trip on his boat! What a great man! Rest in peace! Deb and Jim F.

I wish to pay my condolesces to Bernie, family. I had the pleasure to see him play in the Stanley Cup years. I also met him on several occasions. The greatest person I ever met in sports. He was truly a legend in Philadelphia. He gave it all both on and off the ice.

My sincerest condolences to Gini, Kim and the entire Parent family! Bernie was a HUGE part of my childhood and many others! Getting to know him personally in recent years...He was truly just as wonderful off the ice as on the ice with the Flyers!! We were season ticket holders and have memories of the Stanley Cup victories back to back! I was 15/16 at the time and never in a million years would I have believed my future son would become close friends with Bernie and Gini! Bernie was one of a kind! There was more to him than just our Flyers goalie. He will NEVER be forgotten ! Hugs to you Gini..You took such great loving care of him!! May he RIP ...

Bernie - My late father Gil and my family crossed paths with you many times through the years, going all the way back to 1967 - when I was 8 and you were 22. How the time flew by. I will always remember your ever-present smile, the twinkle in your eye, your sense of humor, and your hearty laugh. You lived a wonderful life - and it was made even better by the joy you spread every day for decades, and the thousands of hearts you touched. You were a good man, and you will be missed. Best wishes to your lovely wife and family. May you rest in peace.

I was a season ticket holder and sat right behind the announcers box and penalty boxes. The Flyers were so exciting! I attended the seasons when the Flyers won the Stanley Cup 1974-1975. It was so exciting and Bernie never let the fans down with miraculous save after save. RIP Bernie

So sad to hear of you passing. So many games I attended and watched you cream your opponents. You were so gracious and always had time for your fans. I also attended events the flyers held for kids , charity etc.
You will be missed . I'm sure you are in heaven talking and giving lessons to your fans up there.
God bless you .....you are with God and will be happy for all eternity. You will reap the rewards of your earthly life.
Love and hugs to a wonderful
Person..... Bernie
