he also enjoyed bowling and golfing. He could be found many
of days on the Alma and Hillsborough golf courses. He liked
touring around the county on his Honda Goldwing motorcycle.
He had a special place in his heart for animals and always took in
strays, especially cats, he just couldn’t see them not looked after.
He also loved a good card game always holding back till he could make
a big finish at the end. Above all things was Bernie’s love
of family, he was always there when needed and was the rock of the
family. He would want all his family and friends to remember
all the fun and good times they shared. He will be fondly remembered
for his teasing and tormenting. You could always see the
twinkle in his eye and that big grin when he was up to something.
“His good character and the kindness of his heart won the
affection of his loved ones. He was loved by
all.”
