"Hi Bernie,  Well it has been a year already.  And I have thought about you and missed you everyday.  I still share lots of great stories about you with our friends. You have not been forgotten and will always be missed.  Having dinner with a friend tonight and will be having a drink and lighting a candle for you.  Love you always."

"Was thinking of you last night at a dinner with the Phoenix Automotive Press Association.  Lincoln and Wixom were discussed heavily.  Lots of good memories!!  Watch over us down here we need all the help we can get!!"

"I knew Bernie for about 8 years. We shared Old Stories about each other, that no one will ever know. We shared a few drinks,sung Johnny Cash songs and sometimes we cried. Always happy cries, because we felt so Blessed to have known each other, even if it was for such a short time. Bernie will always be my friend. He will always be in my heart. I love you Bernie and will see you one day Gary Miles"

"Bernie you didn't get enough time retired.  The good thing was that you always had fun at work and it was more than a job to you.  We always had good times and great challanges.  Please watch donw on me, see you later and tell Randy I said HI!!"

"Bernie was a great friend, he and Ray Nouhan actual interviewed me when I 1st had an opportunity to work at Wixom Assy. as a Q-press Supervisor and later as a product dev. section supervisor for PVT.  We had numerous events involving assy. plant and launch issues that as a team, we always resolved. I feel fortunate to have talked to Bernie this fall, great conversation. He will be missed..."

"Bernie,
You were a good man that would listen to the input others had....even when it did not agree with your opinion. Thanks for believing in and appreciating my input. Thanks for the memories."

"Bernie, although we only spent several brief moments with you your warm, friendly persona always made those moments special.  I have no doubt that your new angel buddies are getting as much of a kick out of your magic and card tricks as I did."

"I worked for Bernie in the Trim Department at Ford Wixom. I truly enjoyed the department while he was in charge because he was professional, fair, and yet personal with a friendly touch. Quite Refreshing for a man in his position. I also experienced many great laughs at the Starkey summer party as he was the life of the party at times. Rest in Peace Bernie..."

"BERNARDO - We will always hold a special place in our heart for your memory. Cruiser, golfer, magician, canoer, co-worker, and mostly FRIEND. We will look forward to the day when you'll be showing us all tricks up in heaven."

"Thank you for your friendship, Bern. We are broken hearted you have left us but comforted knowing you are in good hands. You always offered your support(that 10 pounds has really helped your golf game…), your guidance(I now know how to get the cabbage leaves off for galumpkis…).We had fun & I knew that was your way of showing you cared.  You will never be forgotten; always missed. Love you, Bern.""

"To be a good magician, one must have the ability to attract people, engage them and leaving them wanting for more. Bernie,as a magician you were the best. Your life parallels your magic, with or without a deck of cards in hand.
How did you do that?   How did he ever do all of that and done so well, is how I remember you.
You amazed us all with your spirit, love of life, and causing us to want"

"Bern,

Know that all your Cedar Hammock friends were there for you. You were a true friend. My only regret is that we did not meet fifty years ago. How good would that have been ? I will forever miss you, your humor, your smile, your strength...but mostly just you. Please save a place for me up there and we will meet again someday.        
                  "

"Bernie, I'll miss you everyday.  The golf course will never be the same without you.  You have left an impact on me that can never be taken away.  You said it how it was and you let me know when I was wrong.  You were never afraid to lead and stand up for what you thought was right.  I will try to take all your best qualities and use them to make myself a better person.  You know I loved you Bern"
