We will miss Bernie. He sat at my parents' table at Park Plaza. He was truly a proud Jew who gave up a baseball career to observe the Shabbos. His radio program of 34 years was an inspiration to many. I taught a few of his grandchildren in Arie Crown and they were top notch. May he be a for his children, grandchildren and his dear wife. May his memory be a blessing, Yisroel Leichtman.
