    Bernard was a special guy for sure. I never saw him in a bad mood, and his infectious personality made everyone around him feel good. I spent several years with Bernard at Fleming Co., and his work, work ethic, and professionalism was always top notch. You could always count on Bernard.
    Jan and I send our prayers to Pam and all the family.

    Pam – I always considered Bernard a good friend. I worked at Fleming with Bernard and we played on a lot of Corporate Challenge volleyball and basketball teams together. We also played a lot of walleyball at the Waterford Hotel together My daughter Michelle also played in volleyball leagues with Bernard. Bernard actually helped me to move a slate pool table into my basement. Bernard’s smile and humor was infectious. We will all miss him. May God Bless you and your family.

    To Bernard’s family;
    It was always a pleasure being around Bernard whether at work for Fleming, at the Waterford Athletic Club playing Walleyball or various other places playing with or against him at volleyball. He always had a big smile and a positive attitude, but was also a tough competitor. His light will be missed and I pray for comfort and peace for you all. God bless you.

    Bernard was one of the happiest people that I have ever known. I had the pleasure of calling him my friend. He and Pam were always at the center of fun times. I have many great memories of playing darts at Henry Hudsons, of gathering at their home for football games and enjoying good food and good friends. Thanks for the memories! I love you Pam and know that Bernard will always be watching over you.
