I am so sorry for your loss, Joan.  And for Bernie's suffering.  And yours. And, far down the list, for Maplewood's loss.  Thank you and Bernie for our Memorial Day all those years, and for showing us the way to do it, and for upholding soldiers and their service and sacrifice.  I won't forget that.

Joan,  My deepest condolences to you and your family.  Bernie gave so much to our town and to our country.  I don't think I ever met a more honest man, a more positive person, a truer patriot. Thank you for being such an indispensable part of his journey over the many years and up until the last moment.  Bernie's legacy and his memory will live on.
