Bernard "Bernie" Evenchik to whom it may concern, bernie evenchik was a great man. an exception amongst men. he stood as an example as to how one should treat others in the world and how to raise a family. his heart was as big as the sun. bernie taught his family and all who knew him with a gentle wisdom that persisted with a kind of patience that only mountains display. he loved everybody, accepted everyone and cared for all. he knew what his purpose was and lived that purpose. he gave sound advice, he nurtured the sick, he helped to heal babies and love the unloved. he was true and pure. his legacy can be felt by all who knew him. kind words can only modestly describe the deeds of which all should know and do. that bernie was a king amongst men, a king of the heart and to have seen him for his truth was to see into the heart of humanity. and to all who will miss him, like a monarch emerging from his chrysalis his spirit has taken flight. excelsior! with love, god Born September 10, 1930 in Elyria, Ohio.
