Bernie, very kind, thoughtful, and caring, a cat person, and wonderful gardener, my favorite kind of friend. He often shared texts on things he found interesting. I'm sad I hadn't kept in touch as much lately as I had in the past.

Bernie was a wonderful man. We loved spending time with him. He was always caring, loving, generous and fun. He was a cat lover and was compassionate to all his kitties and to strays. We love him and will miss him very much.
