John C. Bernier

I met John back in the 80´s when I worked for Attorney Bob Shaw in downtown Exeter. I had just graduated from high school. John was doing some work in the old Lopardo´s building and Jim Stanley worked for John at the time. They were a crew, we had many laughs. Having a service at the Rockingham Ballroom reminds me of Bob Shaw too and his longtime secretary Betty Kudaruska. John was one of a kind, so pleasant and kind. Someone I was happy to have known

I was lucky enough to know John for several decades and enjoyed every minute I was lucky enough to spend with him. John was one of a kind - the world lost a great man, the likes of which will never be recreated. Every time I pass by a building John built, I'll smile and look up to remember him.

I did not know John but I've lived in Exeter all my life, and knew of the Bernier family business and you could tell that a house built, was a Bernier built home...it was clean, stream line, perfection and beautiful...it had a very certain look....pride. I am very sorry for your loss.
