Bernie was a truly remarkable man with a warm and gentle heart. His humor could light up any room, and he had a unique ability to bring laughter and joy to everyone around him. As a cherished member of the Shul, he was a friend to all, always approachable and kind. His unwavering support and dedication to the Shul were an inspiration to us all, and we will forever be grateful for the kindness, humor, and generosity he shared so freely.
