The many, many tributes to Bernie on his Facebook wall and in private emails and conversations are more reflective of the impact of his sudden loss on so many people. Like true brothers, Bernie and I had our ups and downs over 30 years of friendship. As each day has gone by since I learned that he is gone, I have realized more and more how much he meant to me over those years. I can only imagine how painful his untimely passing must be for the Bernstone family, and I wish to convey my deepest sympathies to them. I live in North Carolina and will not be able to attend the service, unfortunately. I will be there in spirit. May he rest in peace.
