I am so very, very sorry to hear about Bernie. I enjoyed visiting with him at Ralph's semi-annual parties. Please accept our sincerest condolences.

I am sorry for your loss. It is hard to believe that Bernie is actually no longer with us. He was a good man to work with. We will miss him at Elliott Bay. His memory will stay with us.

I worked with Bernie for 37 years. We started in the same shipyard, worked in Alaska, worked in prison for 15 years and moved our company to Mukilteo in 2005. I still can't believe what happened.

Condolences to the Dobson family. Our thoughts and prayers go out to your whole family. Psalms 147:3 says God, "heals the broken hearted, and binds up their wounds." May God bring you comfort and peace.
