Obituary of Louis V. Bernardo

Louis Vincent Bernardo, passed away peacefully at home in Wayne on December 3 at age 92. He is survived by his wife of 37 years, Frances, daughters Kimberly and Janine, sons-in-law Brandon Peene and Daniel Huck, and sister Beverly Falcone. Louis was retired from the Passaic Board of Education where he was a teacher in the high school and later an Assistant Principal at the elementary level. He was also a professional drummer and enjoyed playing music of the Big Band era. But what was most important to him was his family, for which he was wholeheartedly devoted. We will fondly remember him biking around the neighborhood, boating on Lake Hopatcong, relaxing on his backyard deck, enjoying a good Italian meal, and having fun with his daughters. Louis’ warm smile and physical presence will be missed, but he will remain in our hearts always and forever. 

A funeral Mass will be offered at 11:00 AM on Monday, December 6, 2021 at Our Lady of the Valley R.C. Church, Wayne. Internment to follow at Calvary Cemetery, Paterson. 

If you plan on attending, the family requests that you please wear a mask.
