Bernard’s career in the printing ink industry was highlighted by the building of the Capital Printing Ink Manufacturing Facility in Weyers Cave, Virginia and as an innovator in the development of soy-based printing inks. After retiring, he and Charlotte enjoyed traveling between their home in VA, a summer residence in Bath, PA and a winter residence in Brooksville, FL. When in Florida, Bernie particularly enjoyed watching the Manatee’s at Weeki WacheeSprings Park and then stopping on the way home for Fish Ruebens at BeckyJack’s Food Shack. This became a beloved tradition whenever visiting family and friends came to Brooksville. No memorial service or funeral is planned. The family requests that in lieu of flowers, donations be made in Bernard’s memory to Save the Manatee Club in Maitland, FL (SaveTheManatee.org).
