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.

your goodbyes.We are so greatful to be a part of your Life, We have shared many years of laughter and good times - We will miss you our Friend, Rest in Peace

Thank you for your friendship, Bern. We are broken hearted you have left us but comforted knowing you are in good hands.

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
