Bernie retired from Alside, Inc., as plant manager. Pop, as he was affectionately known to his grandchildren and students at St. Anthony and St. Vincent-St. Mary's High School, continued to work after retirement at Royal Products in Lodi. Bernie was a parishioner of St. Anthony of Padua Church, a member of Knights of Columbus 3529 and the St. Vincent-St. Mary Marching Band Booster Club.
He is survived by wife, Judy (Foutty) Park; grandchildren, Lorenzo and Mariana Butts; daughter and son-in-law, Gina Marie and Bob Fisher; daughter, Rochelle Barbieri-Butts; in-laws, Nettie and Leonard Buzzelli; and dear friends in Christ, the Sisters of St. Anthony Convent, Ron and Ginny Mizak and Sue Dowd. Bernie was preceded in death by son, Bernie B. Park.
Special thanks to the caring staff at Hospice Care Center on Ridgewood Road.
Mass of Christian Burial will be at 9:30 a.m. Monday at St. Anthony Church, 83 Mosser Pl., Akron, by Fr. James Ragnoni with Fr. Ignatius Joseph Kury con-celebrating. Burial will be at a later date at Ohio Western Reserve National Cemetery in Rittman. Friends will be received from 2 to 4 p.m. Sunday at Hennessy Funeral Home (corner of York and Main), 552 N.

Uncle Bernie,
The last time you talked with Jack you said you were ready to go so you could be with all your brothers and sisters and Bernie and friends that you loved and missed so much having left this world before your journey.
I wish you could have gotten that fishing trip in with Jack and Bill as you had wanted.I know your little coffee breaks with the boys were good times for the three of you and will hold fond memories for them.
You are by still waters now and at peace.I'll miss you sense of humor and all your stories. God Bless you,Uncle Bernie.
Love always,your Niece-in-Law, Carol Parker-Park

Dad,
There are so many things we'll miss about you...how you could build or fix anything, the funny little jingles you'd repeat, how tirelessly you worked and how unselfish you were. But you'll be most remembered for how absolutely devoted you were to your grandchildren and children. We couldn't have asked for a better Pop than you. We love you, we always will and we miss you already. Love, Gina & Bob
