Pat, I never had the pleasure or honor of meeting Bernie...through a dear friend, Valerie Fleming, I learned so much about him...his wit, his kindness and his friendship to his fellow workers...I think it is a real tribute to someone such as Bernie, that a complete stranger was so moved by his goodness and kindness...that speaks volumes about him. I regret I never met him but Valerie sure made a believer out of me that he was a wonderful human being...From a stranger...God Rest you Bernie and Peace Be With you Pat....Bobby
