In loving memory of Grandpa Bernie who passed away February 12.
Some of the best memories I have with grandpa were going hunting, and working in his wood-working shop. I also have a lot of good memories from working on the cabin in Pine Valley, and just working with Bernie in general. Bernie taught all of his kids and grandkids the meaning of hard work, which is something I am grateful for now.
Bernie loved his family more than anything. He made family events a priority, I remember quite a few family home evenings with grandpa and grandma & all the cousins. I also remember camping trips with the family. He made it a priority to be at events in my life, especially to be at my wedding and both mine and Jess’s college graduations, even though it was a long way to travel.
Bernie was a good priesthood holder and a good example to me as I was growing up. I specifically remember being home teaching companions with Bernie & learning how to be a good home teacher. He taught me a lot about life, family, and the gospel, & I will miss him.

Sorry to hear that you both lost grandpas within a month of each other. Sounds like they were both amazing men.
I am sorry that both you and Rob lost such wonderful men. I am glad that you were both able to be with your families to honor and remember them.
Rob, what a great tribute to Bernie! I know how much you love him. He will be missed for a while her on Earth.
