Condolence: Pat and family - I was so sorry to hear of Uncle Bernard's passing. He was a character, always making us laugh, and we loved him to pieces. I fondly remember the "competitions" he and mom had with putting their black walnuts in the county fair. It was so fun to take mom there and see her reaction on who had won the ribbons on the pint jars of cracked walnuts. She would say, "Now look at mine and Bernard's meats, they look nice." (She was fine if he got the blue ribbon :) He sure could crack a black walnut and have it come out perfect. There was one other thing that I enjoyed watching Uncle Bernard do; eating is "dinna" as he called it, at family functions. That man could pile up a plate, but he never wasted anything and enjoyed every minute of it. I know Mom was waiting there for him with open arms and they are having great conversations with the rest of the siblings along with Big Papa and Big Mama. Mom has probably already taken Uncle Bernard to the biggest walnut tree in heaven. I will miss you Uncle Bernard, Love, Cathy.

Condolence: Uncle Bernard was an interesting character. The first thing you would take notice of was his "colorful language". He could hold his own with any sailor and thought nothing of saying what he wanted. He was a simple man who led a simple life. There was nothing "showy" about him. One of his favorite treats was a black walnut biscuit with butter and he ate and cracked many of them. Some years ago his oldest brother (Snooks) was very ill. Uncle Bernard hated hospitals, doctors and all that went with that atmosphere but still he came to the hospital to visit his brother, who was in a coma. His sick brothers' daughters set up a blood drive for their dad. Bernard was heard saying he didn't know about that. The thought of letting someone stick him with a needle and take his blood was not something he was sure he could do but he'd think about it. The day of the blood drive came and about lunchtime in walked Bernard and he said afterwards, "Jesus Christ, there was two boys, (Snooks' grandson and great nephew, both in their early thirties) in the chairs and one looked like he was dead and the second one looked like he was close! Them boys was white as a ghost on Halloween and the nurses had turned em upside down and was trying to get some juice in them and bring em back to life. (The young men had actually become lightheaded and their chairs had been reclined all the way). But there it was all of Bernard's fears were true these two young men were dying giving blood. What did Bernard do? He walked over, sat down and rolled up his sleeve. Ever heard the saying, "He ain't heavy, he's my brother" I think this story says everything about the character this fine man had and like his other brothers and sisters who have already left us his family will miss him greatly.
