Bernie passed away on June 27, 2007 after a long battle with a rare autoimmune condition known as neuro-Behcet’s disease. This site was created to commemorate the one-year anniversary of his death. I hope the stories and pictures will bring you joyfully down memory lane, and that you will be able to remember and celebrate the energy, humility, and inspiration of Bernie. For those of you who didn’t know Bernie, I hope this site gives you a glimpse of who he was and what he meant to his loved ones.
We miss you Bernie…
I’ll always remember your welcoming and hospitable spirit… the smoothies you used to make for us at church corner, the way you would break ankles on the basketball court, and how you would always reach out to people at ccfc… for me, boston, ccfc, and my post-college years will always be tied inexorably to you and bonnie… i know you are living it up in heaven, maybe still eating the same sandwich for lunch every day
I miss you so much. We ate a pop-tart and drank a hot chocolate for you today. Tonight, we may “cut” a portion of ice cream:)
miss you bernie! hope we can hang out someday… so much to catch up on!!
