I would like to offer my sincere condolences to "Bernie's" family and friends on his passing. My sister Helen Duffy worked with Bernie at Com Ed and she was so very fond of him. She told me about him often, so much so I felt I knew him. Helen passed away in '98 and now I'm sure they're laughing together again. May all of you know peace and happy memories.
