Bernard was a Korean War veteran and a member of Our Lady of Grace Catholic Church in Noblesville.

Bernard enjoyed hunting and fishing, golf and helping his children with home improvement and wood working projects. He loved spending time with his grandchildren and great-grandchildren, teaching several of them how to fish. After retirement, Bernard and his wife, Mary, enjoyed spending their winters in Arizona, where several of their children and grandchildren live. Bernard and Mary also did volunteer work at their congregation's food bank. Bernard could be quite the storyteller, especially to his grandchildren. He will be greatly missed.
