Bernard was a beloved father, grandparent, son, uncle, friend of many who will be remembered for his spunky self, full of life, hardworking and someone you can always count on. He would have given anyone the shirt off of his back because that’s just the type of person he was. Throughout his life, he always enjoyed working, spending time with his kids, grandkids and great-grandchildren. He also liked working on cars and helping people out. You could always count on him even when he didn't have much himself. He loved taking boat rides and just cruising around.
