  1. Mr Farrell…have known you most of my life and considered you a “second father”. Will miss your warm hugs and hearing you call me Kimi…love ya’s and will miss you

  2. Bernie has been a great friend for many years. We will miss his love for life and his warm laugh. The world is a better place because of him. God bless.

  3. I will miss my old friend and dance partner! Beachcomber breakfasts and reunions won’t be the same without you.

  4. Bernie will be missed by all who knew him – he was a great man, a wonderful Santa, someone who was always fun to be around. Our deepest condolences to the family and friends he leaves behind.

  5. I was a bowling friend of Bernie. My deepest regret for not showing my respect by not attending the wake or church services. I heard of his passing at the bowling alley on Monday March 13 and didn’t know about the funeral services until 10:30 AM on the 15th. May he rest in peace.Please accept my sincerest sympathy and prayers to the family.
