I will miss all of his highlights, weekend at Bernie’s, Etc. I have found many sportscasters to be irritating- but not Bernie. He was funny and informative about sports at the same time. Happy for him

[@gkmacbeth8225]

We live in Calgary Alberta Canada and have watched Bernie for the past few years. My mother was born in Detroit so I have a connection. Anyway just wanted to say that Bernie is the best and we wish him well. Speaking from some experience, retirement is a great gig.

[@momto2]

Bernie will be so missed! There will never be another Bernie! Sad for the viewers, but happy for him and wish him all the best.

[@MaryAnderson.MarBear]

[@TWKozak-hs9bo]

Much like the late Bill Bonds, if you were in Detroit, Bernie was a part of your day. May your retirement be as good to you as mine has been to me.

[@cryptolingo1863]

Thank You Bernie for the decades of great sports memories best of luck to you on your future endeavors

[@agent109g8]

Thank you Bernie!

[@brandonh7976]

They should have invited Carmen Harlan and Chuck Gaidica to come in to say goodbye to Bernie.

[@matt1234-h1x]

I will miss Bernie! Him and Chuck Gaidica were my favorite people on wdiv! Good luck on your retirement Bernie and I wish you and your family nothing but the absolute best ❤️😁

[@DetroitLions59]

I miss the simpler times…

[@chilzo8422]

I will miss Bernie. The only reason I look at channel 4. " Enjoy you're retirement ".

[@ThomasLee-ss4bv]

Channel 4 is doing the same old bull. They did this year's ago. I don't watch 4 except for Bernie's spot. Now I could Care less about 4 news.

[@mickeyglenn8936]

" we've got highlights"... The reason we watched his sports segment!!!

[@davidschneider6306]

Loyalty in the workplace is in one direction only. beat it Bernie.

[@niveacook2396]

CONGRATULATIONS 🎊 👏 💐 🥳 BERNIE.

[@margaretlyle9017]

Best wishes to Bernie! We love you! ❤️

[@jimmyboyzable]

When is Devin Scillian going to retire ? Remember Andrew Humphrey, I still believe that Devin played a HUGE part in him being ousted and his "bestie" Kim Adams suddenly swooping in and stealing the lead meteorologist position (which should've been Andrew's)

[@Sam-pi6ch]

Miss Andrew Humphrey

[@Sam-pi6ch]

Bout time, hes terrible

[@kensnedegar5925]

I love you Bernie you did a great job I wish Joe Biden would retire with his dementia too and Bernie is a straight mind 100% God bless him and his family

[@7080nik]

Wow, everybody leaving 4. Must be feeling guilty about being journalists? They should.

[@righteous-wg4vw]

I don't think that they should feel guilty about doing their jobs they just need to report the truth
