Bernie Parent

Bernie, I am going to miss seeing you at random places but always a smile and a firm handshake. RIP to one of My true Idols. You are a Legend and will never be copied or repeated. God Bless You and Your Family.

"MY CHILDHOOD HERO"
"THE NET IS NOW EMPTY"

"REST IN PEACE BERNIE"
"YOU WERE THE BEST"

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.

Thanks for all the great memories!!! Welcome home...

We were sorry to hear about Bernie's passing. He will always be remembered as #1 .

Bernie you were not only a great goalie you were a better person. You will be missed but not forgotten. Thank you for all the great memories. The Lord I hear needs a goalie. He has one now. The best. Rest in peace Bernie. Love Rob and Gina.

Here´s Bernie at the 2024 Philadelphia Sports Writers Association banquet giving a speech on the 1975-75 Flyers Championship seasons! R.I.P Bernie

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!

Only the Lord saved more than Bernie
RIP

One of my favorite human beings and Goalie. RIP Bernie. You´ll be missed.

Bernie was the ultimate competitor. One of the true great goaltenders in the history of the National Hockey League. And when it came to being accessible and personable, there was none better. One of the most Sincere,he graced this world for eighty wonderful years. We mourn along with Bernie´s wonderful wife Gini, we will forever remember the great, Bernie Parent

All we have are words of encouragement. They don't touch the way you are feeling right now, but know that you are not alone. We offer our heartfelt condolences & prayers to you. Bernie takes with him a piece of all our hearts. RIP dear friend

I was shocked and saddened to learn of the passing of the great Bernie Parent!! I will always remember the times shared while working for his marketing company. Your bigger than life personality and an absolute love of ice hockey will live on forever. You were a generous man with the underserved youth and young fans!! My deepest condolences and sympathies to the entire Parent (and Flyers) family! You will be missed!!

I will never forget your kindness and you allowing me to try on your Stanley Cup rings. You are a Legend in Philly and in Philly we never forget Legends. Rest Easy Bernie. Love You

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 ...

I'll always treasure the old fishing days at the Canyon Club ! You were one of a kind. Go with God, my friend.

Not only did you lift a Stanley Cup to back to back victories, you lifted the entire Southeastern area with your compassion humanity and empathy!! Thank you Bernie Parent!! My prayers andcondolences to the Parent family.

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.

We love you Bernie.

Bernie you were definitely one of a kind! I loved our conversations at the gym and the time you did a video message to my brother for his birthday meant a lot to me! You will be truly missed!

The greatest keeper to mind the net. Bernie will be missed by all. Rest in Peace.

Bernie the best!

RIP Bernie! The best goaltender to ever wear the orange and black, you will be greatly missed by all Flyers fans.

A great hockey player and part of the Flyers team. His playing helped the team win Stanley Cups in his career. He was great to watch. Sincere condolences to the Parent family, so very sorry for your loss. May God be with you.

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
