Bernie was a proud veteran of the U.S. Army.  He retired as a Boilermaker from Local 154 after 34 years and enjoyed many rounds of golf with his sons and buddies. He always included the “19^th hole”.  He loved his duckpin and ten pin bowling game, watching his Pittsburgh Steelers, bar bingo, Gianna Via’s, his weekly Park Valley visit with his lifelong friend Joe B, spending time at his Florida home with the greatest neighbors, he LOVED to be celebrated for his birthday,  and especially being the handyman for his “Foxwood Ladies”.  There wasn’t anything he wouldn’t do for anybody!  “EVERYBODY LOVED BERNIE”
