Condolence: I first met Bernie in the late 1960's. (I called him Bishop back then). We "hit" it off immediately. He was my best friend for many years. We got into a lot of trouble back then, had some trying times with our families, but those were the best years of my life. I moved away in my 20's but we still remained in contact over the next 40 years. As others have said here, he had a great sense of humour and was very easy and comfortable to be with. I thought we would both be in our 80's and still talk of old times. Our next visit will now have to be in a different "time" and a different "place". My thoughts and prayers are with you Marie and your family, and George and Jean (Bernie's brother and sister).
