To Bridie, Brian, Susan and Eddie: My condolences. Bernie was my good neighbor, friend and mentor, always ready to advise me on the fine art of lawn care. As he watched my family grow and mature in our Berwyn bungalow, he always would have a smile on his face, a laugh in his voice and love in his heart. The Schulenbergs were blessed to have him in our lives. Dave, Jackie and William S.
