Bernard accomplished his lifelong dream of becoming a medical doctor; healing the sick was one of his life’s passions. He was a parishioner at St. John the Baptist Roman Catholic Church and was a proud member of the Knights of Columbus. Other lifelong passions of his were computers and software; he personally created several medical software programs that have helped many. His sparse free time was spent with his wife and his children. Bernard had an insatiable thirst for knowledge, how things worked and how to make them better. He enjoyed crafting gifts, woodworking, and especially attending his children’s sporting events.

Bernard will be sorely missed by family, friends, and all who were blessed to know him. Bernard’s faith was the center of his life, especially through his final fight, communicating towards the end “No doubts. No fear.”
