Be
Bernie, were such a beautiful person and à joy to be in his présent. I enjoyed seeing him when he came to the office and always talk about his mom and my Auntie which were roommates at héritage hall. He was my Teddy bear. I will cherish his memories always. RIP Teddy bear !
Burnie can’t tell you how much you will be missed. You were a great resource and guide at ABC and a wonderful source of kindness in the world. Always enjoyed our catch up phone conversations. I will always remember your smile and infectious laugh!
Burnie was my academy classes mentor and fixer while completing the academy in 1990 and for a short time my ASAC during one of the agencies “ reorganizing” periods. Burnie would often be the voice of reason when reason appeared to be in short supply.
He was also a fellow Parrothead. Burnie you are missed. We will meet again at the Blue Heaven Rendezvous. Fair winds and following seas my friend.
Burnie, the world is a bit dimmer without your bright light here. There is so much I could say about you. You called me Dixie Cup and I called you Buddy. You taught me so much of how to be kind and gentle to everyone I met. What a gem you are, and left us way too soon. I will cherish the memories that I have and make sure the girls remember Uncle Burnie. My heart is broken because you are not here anymore. When I begin to miss you I will remember your hearty laugh and I have your work voicemails saved so I can listed to them from time to time. Rest well my friend. Love you my Buddy.
Burnie, You will be missed. I always remember how you enjoyed vacation trips to Florida, having beach fun. Also remember how you would come into the office to help out if a co-worker took time off. You and Phil Bowles, both left too soon. RIP
Burnie was always so positive and a joyful person to be around. I enjoyed our everyday conversations and will be missing him dearly. I will never forget him.
In memory of Mr. Bernie as I always called him, was a truly remarkable figure for me. He was the best, always offering invaluable advice and unwavering encouragement. Thank you for being such a guiding light, good Sir. Your impact will never be forgotten
Bernie, I'll always remember you with a smile on you face. Thanks for all the help at ABC. &Thank you for picking up the pearl necklace for me when you went to Majorca Spain. You were the best. Love you my friend.
May you Rest In Peace.
