Coach Smith was one of my baseball coaches in my life. He coached St. Francis Seminary baseball team in the late 60´s/early 70´s.

Sorry to hear of Bernie´s passing . He was our baseball coach at St Francis Seraphic Seminary in the late 60´s-early 70´s. A lot of great memories, as he was a terrific coach , and an even better person . We had a lot of laughs and good times together
We exchanged Christmas cards for many years after graduation and the years that followed. I looked forward to hearing from him and Barbara , and the growth of his family from year to year. He will surely be missed .
May you rest in peace , Coach --till we meet again at the batting cage in heaven

Barbara and family, I am saddened to learn that Bernie passed away last month. He contributed so much to our college community with his professionalism, his positive attitude, and his compassionate friendship. He was good to me in my early years at the college, as I am sure he was to so many others. May he rest in peace in the loving arms of God.

It is with deep sympathy, I just heard about Bernie's passing....Sending my thoughts and prayers to Barbara and the family. Bernie was a co-worker with me at Merrimack College....May he rest in the Lord's Peace.
