Bernie enjoyed golf, basketball, baseball, thought it was volunteering at St. Vincent de Paul at Our Lady of Fatima Parish that he used to talk about most. Bernie loved being married to Wanda, Bernie loved being Dad to his 6 children. Bernie loved greeting everyone with a smile and a wave. After high school, Bernie joined the Army and spent 3 years as a paratrooper, making 35 jumps "because it was fun". Bernie joined the Air Force, spending 17 years, as a crew chief Bernie was proud of his name being stenciled on the fuselage of the various aircraft. Bernie flew with SAC, MAC, eventually taking him to Vietnam where he would discharge proudly serving 20 years in the Armed Forces.
Bernie is preceded in death by his parents, siblings and his loving wife, Wanda. He is survived by his 6 children: Regina, Denise, Joseph, Patrice, Maryvonne and Philip; 9 grandchildren; 13 great-grandchildren; and 2 siblings.
