Dear Bernard:
Although I never met you I want you to know you are among the most successful men I know about. How? You raised one of the most compassionate, caring fearless women I know with your daughter Patty.
Good job!!!

I so loved hearing the stories he told (over and over 🤗) about how, when and where he met his lovely wife , Mrs Gumz 💞💐💞💐💞 and the way he looked at you when he told them. After 67 years it was crystal clear you were and will be into eternity...the cherished love of his life.
I worked with Bernie at the Euclid Station. He was well loved by his customers and fellow carriers. Because Bernie worked by the book, during route inspections, he was teased by carriers and supervisors as walking so slow that you couldn’t tell if he was moving unless you could line him up with a telephone pole. I am saddened by Bernie’s death and pray for God’s comfort for his family.
