I am very sad at losing one of my best friends. Bernie used to take all of us kids riding on his horse Baby, and later on with his pony Ginger. We also sat on his back steps every night and talked. Bernie and Mert Claycomb, were there every night for us kids. That was in the 60’s and 70’s. Bernie gave kids rides on his horses for years and they all loved him for that. My mother said Bernie gave rides for the kids when she was growing up. I also remember how we met in the back of his truck inside his garage during the winter so we could talk for hours. And Bernie loved to tell stories about Glen Dale. We lost our town library with Bernie’s passing, because he could tell us stories about our town’s history for hours. I’ll miss you Bernie, but you will never be forgotten!
