He was born on Dec. 2, 1932, in Garrett, Indiana. His parents were Thelma and Wilbur Myers.

Bernie was baptized at First Baptist Church in Garrett and received a Perfect Attendance award for Sunday school. He played an active role in his church communities.

In high school he played basketball and football, edited the school's yearbook, and was president of his class.

Later on, Bernie joined the Army, serving his country from 1952-54.

He met the love of his life at his sister's wedding and they were married five months later in 1955. From that point on his mission in life became that of provider and protector for his family. Bernie loved his family dearly, always concerned for their needs.
