Had the pleasure of working for Bernie and Pat for a short while when he owed Sunset Kennels. He was a great friend to me when I was just a young girl in need of some kindness. Thank you, Bernie. God Bless and Keep You!

I recall my father LCDR Charles E. Siegwarth referring to his “CO” (Commanding Officer) Minetti many times. Mr. Minetti was respected by my dad –I wish I had known he lived in Arizona as I would have like to have met him. May Bernard rest in peace!

Deacon Minetti was a wonderful friend, mentor and man of God who will always live on in our hearts. His wife, Patricia, was also so special to us in friendship with her kindness and spirit. May they both rest in peace.
