I was so sorry to hear the news of my Padrinho's passing. I will miss his deep raspy voice greeting me with a "Hi Querida" every time we saw each other. He was always so sweet to me and anytime we were at a wedding, he always made sure to have a dance with me. Rest peacefully Padrinho. I'm sorry that COVID prevents us for saying a proper goodbye but I will joining in online and will keep you in my thoughts and prayers always. My sincere condolences to my Madrinha and Godbrothers, David, Mike and Ray as well as all the grandchildren, whom I'm sure will greatly miss their Vovo. Hugs - Barbara

Dad...I don't know where to start as a matter of fact I don't think I want to, I cant believe that your gone. You were not only my father but my best friend, I know I speak for my brothers when I say the we are going to miss you so much and so are all of your grandchildren. They loved you so much and always felt the same love back if not more. You were the patriarch of our entire family and now that chair is empty. I want you to rest peacefully and you can be assured that we will take care of mom as you asked. I LOVE YOU DAD and will do everything I can to fulfill all the dreams that we spoke about. as I ALWAYS say this is not goodbye...its see you later!

Dads are someone to look up to; someone to follow; someone to admire; someone to be proud of; someone to brag about; someone to learn from and someone to respect; someone to listen to and someone to talk to but most of all; someone with whom you can laugh with.

My brothers and I have been blessed to have had Tiago as our father.

Although my Dad may never have said it out loud; I know that he was truly proud of his children and the way we all have grown up.

Duty; reliability; honor; dignity and respect: these were all qualities that my father not only held in high esteem but practiced every day during his time on this earth.

He was a serious and disciplined man but he could never resist the opportunity to have a laugh with friends and loved ones; given half the chance.

Dad was a straightforward man who demanded little from those around him and who expected only the best for his three children.

Provided he heard regularly from us all—and saw us whenever possible—he was content.

However his grandchildren were his pride and joy and it was during these times with them that I saw his true paternal instincts; I knew he always had.

He was an extraordinary man who acted like an ordinary one.

He showed strength and fought right up until his last days with us. I hope that one day; when I die; my children can look back; tell funny stories about me and talk about how I loved them and their mother. Then, like my father; I will have led a complete life.

Our family bids him farewell as we mourn the loss of a lively, dignified soul.

A soul that brought joy and fulfilment to many and whose legacy will live on forever.

Dad you are now heaven surrounded by your parents you’ve missed; the friends that have gone before you and the nature you loved.

To say I loved my dad would be an understatement - and to say I’m going to miss him would be an even greater understatement!

You Son

David M. Bernardo
