Bernie was our neighbor across the street when we moved to the The Grove in 2001. I'm just learning of his death. He took pride in his yard and he wouldn't like how it looks now. He had a golden lab, Brawny, who used to come over and see us. After he moved two of his daughter's lived in the house. Kathy is whom lived there the longest and whom I remember. RIP Bernie. You were a character and good guy.
