Bernard Behm Obituary

Bernard "Bernie" F. Behm Jr., died April 13, 2022, age 65. In 1975 Bernie enlisted with the Navy where he served four years; he was very proud of his service to his country. Bernie was a Jet Propulsion Supervisor (Naval Aviation Supply Office) where he was employed for over 40 years.

The simple pleasures of life brought great pleasure to Bernie. He loved fishing and enjoyed both fresh water and deep sea fishing. He loved tinkering with locks and amassed a large collection of antique locks. Bernie loved to travel and the family took various trips to Europe and the United States. His last trip with his wife Marianne was to Ireland and Scotland and they thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Bernie was very mechanically talented. He kept his house in great working order and always shared his talents with friends and neighbors who needed help. Bernie loved being a husband and father and loved spending time with them and always enjoyed having them in his life. Bernie loved animals and shared his life with many dogs. He will be missed by his dogs Ted Beagle and Oliver Wendell.

Bernie was the son of Bernard F. Sr. and the late Maryann (née Schimmel) Behm. He is survived by his beloved wife, Marianne V. (née Trynoski) and son Justin P. Behm (Courtney). He was the brother of John Behm (Helen) and David Behm (Joy) and the late Suzanne Behm and Cindy Bower. He was the uncle of Kimberly, Jodi, Dayna, Ayva, Sara, Laura and the late Matthew. He will be sadly missed by several aunts and cousins.
