Eventhough I didn't know Bernie real personaly, I do remember how handsome he was and Ithink I last saw him at Judy's wedding, when he came in uniform, and I had not seen him for thirteen years prior to that. At that time we danced and had a good time as did all. I wish I had known him better, but he will always hold a special place in my heart, as do all of my relatives.
Bernie was a classmate of ours at RHS..we graduated with Bernie..I don't recall if he came to our class reunions but I do remember him..condolences to all his family..he was always a nice person.
