Bernie was my classmate. I had no way of knowing what he'd accomplish in his life. When he was a freshman in high school, he made these bullies leave me alone. We were riding home from school and these bullies were trying to make me smoke a cigarette on the bus. I was 4' 11" Bernie was big and tall. He said "you don't have to smoke that cigarette if you don't want to!" Then he told the bullies to leave me alone. And they did. I never forgot that my whole life. 🚬

Miss Bernie so much. He got a late start in Comedy. But left a legacy and impression. Hes still talked about today.

[@karlhungus5554]

Bernie had a God-given talent. He's one of my favorite comedians and one of my favorite people. Aside from his obvious gifts for comedy and acting, he was a real man. He respected himself, respected and valued his wife, took care of his family, and he was kind and generous to others. A few times a year, I have to binge-watch his KZbin clips and he always has me howling with laughter. He was intelligent, an impeccable dresser, and his beautiful smile was always contagious. Rest in peace, Mac.
