Brother, I miss you and as I write this note the tears are swelling up in my eyes. You have always been a part of my life and it hurts to know that I can’t pick up the phone and call you. I take comfort in the fact that you’re not suffering anymore. You will always be with me and will never leave my thoughts. I love you.

I had the pleasure of knowing Bernie for a number of years as his wife Sue worked with me at Bosch Power Tools and Skil Power Tools when the two companies entered into a joint venture. On a number of occasions, I enjoyed several conversations with him and found him to be a gentleman and someone who enjoyed life. He was devoted to Sue and to his family. Because I traveled a lot, I was not able to participate in as many social events as I would have liked.
My sincere condolences and sympathy to Sue and the entire family. May God bless them and give them strength and peace at this difficult time.
