I first met Bernie when my Dad hired him to fix some plumbing in our building on Bosworth. What a great guy! and professional!!! Both Joe and young Bernie were taught well and have been my trusted plumbers ever since. I am also involved with the Knights of Columbus, University Council #1687, to which Bernie belonged. He put in over 50 years of service to the organization!! We will miss him. God bless his legacy and care for all who mourn for him. Our most sincere condolences to the family...
