Bernie Dunn passed away yesterday
« on: March 26, 2021, 10:36:02 PM »
I just got word that long-time member Bernie Dunn (ber643 was his username, I believe) passed away yesterday. 
I hope his soul flies straight and true, into the hands of God.

I don’t know a whole lot about Bernie, but I know we shared an affinity for Kokopelli designs.  He would travel around collecting them, and I would bid on some of them most years in the St. Judes auction.  I know we were both former Marines.  So Semper Fi, Bernie, and Godspeed.

Godspeed Bernie-you were a he** of a man. Always giving to others and gentleman to the end. Prayers for his family.
The essence of the hunt for me is to enter nature and observe+ return safely occasionally with the gift of a life taken.

Bernie was the best. I met Bernie many years ago at NC Tard Championships at Hickory and ran into him at many other shoots around the southeast. He was always happy to see me as I was to see him. Tough as nails but always with a smile on his face. Rest in peace old friend. See you around the campfire.
Make the most of all that comes and the least of all that goes!

Bern was one of a kind. Blessed to have known him here.  He was the Tradgang St Jude Auction Ambassador.

And his wife was also heavily involved.

I will miss him!

Bernie ... as good a man as they come. 

He will be missed by many, for sure. 

He is now at peace in the lap of God.

This is sad.... yes, he was the St Jude Ambassador. , and his wife was Ambassadoress... they donated more items than anyone to our auction over the years l.

Bernie wasn't hear much for the last two years....

Miss you Sir and your kind heart.

Does anyone have a contact for his wife?

Terry, I believe Bernie's wife Rose passed on about 3 or 4 years ago.  Very generous people.  She used to make the nice hand-made afghans for the St. Jude auctions.  I am lucky to have won one of them a few years ago. :pray: :pray: :pray:
