Gary and I were so saddened to hear of Bernie’s passing. We both have the most fond memories of working with Bernie at Excellus. His laugh and smile would light up any room he was in. His kindness was limitless, and he left such an impression on everyone he met. He was so proud of his girls and all of their achievements; it was his favorite thing to talk about. He was endlessly smitten with Tracy too. He had the most love and light for life, and truly made Excellus a better place. Sending prayers and love to all of Bernie’s family and friends.

Very sad to hear of Bernie's passing. He was a staple at ERCN TV-12 for over 20 years doing color commentary for ER Bombers football along with Joe Scalise, Carm Scalise and Mike Sirianno. All his many hours of volunteer time meant a lot to our viewers and the kids participating in the football program. His wonderful sense of humor kept our viewers engaged and entertained throughout each broadcast they produced. It's vary rare to find someone willing to volunteer this long. He did it for the love of the kids and the school he was so proud to be associated with. My sincere appreciation for Bernie and my condolences to his family.

“Joy is the serious business of heaven” C.S. Lewis
Reading this, I immediately pictured Bernie’s good nature and wit adding joy to everyone in heaven, as well as, the joy he feels in the presence of our Savior. No more pain. He will be deeply missed, yet one day we plan to laugh again with him. You are so loved …Uncle Rich and Aunt Lisa Allen

I worked with Bernie at Excellus. He would often stop by my desk to discuss audits but we would mostly talk about the Yankees since like Bernie I am a devoted fan. I really enjoyed having those conversations and that was one of the things I missed most about the transition to working from home. My condolences to his family. He truly was a wonderful person.

Dear Tracy-
So very sorry to read of Bernie's passing this morning on the Excellus website. Thank you for sharing information and your experience regarding multiple myeloma with me, as my guy was also at Wilmot for his Bone Marrow transplant and other related items to this condition. Bernie was great and he will be truly missed. Please accept my sincere condolences at this most difficult time.
Sincerely,
Terry Field

Bernie was the first person I worked with at Kodak and he not only welcomed me to the job, he invited me to many activities and became a good friend. I remember him with that smile on his face, a very wonderful man who made my transition to Kodak wonderful. My condolences to his family, may God Bless.

I was so sad to hear this news. My deepest sympathies. Bernie was such a warm, down to earth, funny and positive person. I always felt better after having a chat with him at work, especially when it had to do with baseball and his beloved NY Yankees, not to mention Cooperstown. There's no doubt he touched many lives. Rest in Peace.

My deepest condolences to Bernie’s family. I worked with Bernie at Kodak and we spent a lot of time together at and outside of work. He had a lot of great friends and his personality was one of a kind. I have nothing but good memories of Bernie as he was such a good natured individual and friend. He could beat anyone at trivia and had all the Yankees stats memorized. He will be missed by many but the good memories of him will last forever. God bless.

It is with deepest sympathy that I send my prayers to you. I knew Bernie through his wonderful girls Erica and Andrea and Lynne. Volleyball was our gathering place. For years. When I think of Bernie, I think of light, energy, optimism and enthusiasm. I always admired him. So sad he has left us.
May you all find peace and know he loved you.

My deepest condolences to you and your family. He was loved by many.
Bernie and I joined the Air Force together right out of high school. We were both squad leaders in the same squadron in basic training. We had a blast as 2 Rochesterians leading new recruits. He is and was an individual that was very well liked by many.

I am so very sorry for your loss. Bernie was a light and brought joy and a sense of fun to even the most mundane work tasks. He was always good for a joke or a story. I was lucky to know him as a coworker. He left a lot of good memories in the halls of Court Street.
