I had the privilege of being Dr. Bernthal´s graduate student at UNL in 2001. He was an incredible teacher of the speech-language pathology academic context, but, more importantly, he was a amazing teacher of humility. I´m so appreciative of him during my graduate learning but also as a professional 20 years later. He will be missed.

Marilyn,
I worked with John at the Barkley Center. As Director, he was very helpful and supportive as my colleagues and I worked to develop support programs for UNL students with learning disabilities. We also shared many accounts of our children´s athletic competitions: Brad´s tennis, Kirsten´s volleyball and my sons track, swimming and basketball. My thoughts are with you and your family.

Marilyn and family: Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. John and I worked at the State National Bank in the early 60's as part time employees filing checks and manning the new drive in bank window.

So sorry to hear about John´s passing. Kirsten, I met your dad years ago on a scholarship committee. He was so pleasant to work with! Of course we talked volleyball, and he was SO proud of you! He will be missed.
