Bernie (“mumbles”) passed away at the Wynn Hotel in Las Vegas. Cause of death was a massive heart attack (non-official). Those of you that knew Bernie know that if he could pick a place to go - it would have been the Wynn Hotel in Las Vegas.

Bernie's body is being flown back to Florida as I type. Neil (Bernie’s son) is on his way back from the World Cup. Services will be Thursday afternoon in Boca Raton (I am hearing times of 1 p.m. or 2 p.m.).

Bernie was truly one of a kind. He had a heart of gold. His generosity was endless... I remember the time when we worked together in the 'old' V.O. Group building and I was looking to change the format of our Christmas Party, and Bernie suggested donating the Christmas Party money to a Charity for kids. The idea was amended slightly and ended up in an annual Christmas Party which involved all V.O. Group employees throwing a party specifically for homeless children. The 2005 Christmas party was thrown at an amusement park in San Jose with over 250+ orphans attending.

Bernie's knowledge in the industry was incredible, his contacts were endless and he was simply a 'good guy' for the industry. He will be missed - terribly, by those of us close to him.

Bernie is survived by his daughter (in NY), wife (in FL) and son (who will take over running 'the business').

Thank you,
