Bernard and I were best of buddies during our high school years. We played ball together, worked together and chased the girls together. I left the area following my high school years, but always had fond memories of Bernard. Never had a more gentle friend. I am blessed to have known him.
Sending condolences to all the family & friends of this very nice man, from my family, the McKinley’s. He was always a polite & kind person and an expert contractor building beautiful homes. RIP
