Bernie was a cherished friend for over 45 years and one of Acme Brick's best customers. He was truly an "icon" in the brick industry and famous for his December luncheons for many years. My deepest sympathy to the Arquille family -Linda and Bobby.

Bob often reminisced about the dinner Bernie and Ruth hosted for us downtown at the The Gaslight Club to celebrate his graduation from Roosevelt University. Bernie was genuinely proud of Bob's achievement. He was such a lovely man!
Much love,
Cynthia, Amy, &

May he rest in peace. Mr. Arquilla was like a second father to my oldest deceased brother Bob. May they be in heaven together.
