Condolences
Rest in peace, Bernie. Always enjoyed our talks and working with you in Watkins Glen DOT. My condolences to your family.
My thoughts and prayers to Inga and his family. He was a great guy!
I worked for Bernie at Watkins. A lot of fun memories. The best Supervisor. Ever!
My heart is broken, My family lost a good man and heaven gained an Angel.
My fondest memories of Uncle Bernie are numerous I will only mention a few.
He would come on Saturday morning with his truck and horse trailer, load up my pony Dynamite and off we would go to Barrington for the horse shows. This was weekly we would ride side by side in the opening parade. Me on a pony and him on his " huge" black horse. I was so proud to be riding beside him. I was like 8 or 10 yrs old.
Over all the years since we moved in 1976,we didnt loose contact, he never forgot my B day, maybe a day late but... we would call each other on holidays or to just say hi.
I could always go to him with anything, he had a broad shoiulder to hold all my concerns, the humor to make me smile. He was always there to help.
I will just now talk to you in a different manner.
Fly High Uncle Bernie, Ride on , Lord knows I love you so much.
I am very sorry to hear this. he was a wonderful man. I am sending lots of love and prayers to you and the family
My family is thinking of yours. I worked with Bernie at the Watkins DOT shop for a few years before he retired. He truly loved telling jokes and was a good supervisor to boot.RIP my friend.
I am truly sorry for the loss of Bernie. He worked with my husband at the NYS DOT and was a very respected man in his position. I will always remember Bernie for his kind & gentle demeanor & smile. Rest is peace Bernie. Prayers of comfort to Inga & the family~ Peggy Tomassi
Uncle Bernie took me, Patches or Dynamite, to the Barrington horseshows and we went to the Rodeo in Pennsylvania. I loved riding and learning show, with my Uncle Bernie and then, Aunt May. May you run with the wild horses Uncle Bernie; Luv U Always
