So sad to hear of Bernie's passing. We have been friends since 1st grade. I have many good memories of Bernie. I talked to MaryAnn and Bernie when we were planning our 50th reunion from Andrean. I was so glad they came, but sorry I didn't get to visit longer. He was a wonderful husband, father and grandfather. I hope he and MaryAnn are together again. May you rest in peace dear friend .
