Your new ( and first) great grandson
Dad, This is Oliver Jace Dutton. That’s right K.C. had a baby boy. You would be so proud of her dad, as she is an excellent mother, holds a good full time job and has completely turned her life around. Ollie is so athletic and everyone says he looks so much like you. I wish you had the opportunity to know this incredible little boy who just turned 2 last month.
I miss you Dad. Tomorrow’s your birthday, as you know.
When I pass,Dad, take my hand. I’ll be reaching for you. I’ll take you with me to greener pastures. I promise.
Your daughter,
Kimberly

I was just reading through the latest edition of the Siena Alumni Magazine, and was shocked to see that my former teammate had passed away. Please accept my sincere condolences.

I was a year ahead of Berney at Siena. For my last two years, he played centerfield, and I played in left. He was a terrific teammate and a good friend. Before Siena he was an outstanding and tough running back at LaSalle Institute in Troy. Berney and Dave Fruscio were two of the toughest, most hard-nosed backs the Capital District ever produced.

I never saw Berney again after I graduated, and did not know anything about his life. But the obituary is a great description of an amazing man and his journey. And I love that picture of him with a Yankees cap on. The look on his face is pure Berney.

Rest In Peace, Berney. I’m sure that your family has amazing memories of their time with you.

Colette and entire Trembly family ~ My deepest sympathy on Berney's passing. He sure did live an eventful and fulfilling life - all his adventures and his outdoor activities that he so loved and enjoyed! Not many people can claim his accolades in any respect. I enjoyed my times when I was able to visit with the Trembly family after they moved to CA. The times were not frequent, unfortunately, but well-enjoyed. Berney was one of a kind - he lived life to the ultimate in many ways. He will be missed.

Collete and family, so sorry to hear of Berney's passing.
Kathy and I were just with some friends recently and we were talking about Berney,
I said I would like to get in touch with him and relive some old memories.
He was a great competitor and his drive was intense.
We'll surely miss him but we'll always have our fond recollections.

I am very sad to hear that Bernie is no longer with us. I am a year younger and he was always a year ahead of me at LaSalle. But, I have never forgotten how successful he was on the sports field. Such a nice upper classman, kind and softly spoken. So respected by me and my classmates and his peers. The only comment I can add is that I know full well what the difficulties are in moving from New York to California. I did the same with my now ex-wife and 4 daughters moving to the San Francisco area. Difficult with no supportive friends near you to have a cup of coffee with or a friendly beer. I now live on the Central Coast of New South Wales (1 hour north of Sydney) Australia and hope to never relocate and start from scratch again. It just wasn't easy as a young man, and can't imagine doing it now in my seventies. My sincerest condolences to Bernies wife, family and friends. Bernie: A good man, for sure. You will be fondly remembered., mate!

Sorry to learn of the passing of Berney. I have fond memories of grade school, high school and spending time playing baseball and football in the school yard of St. Patrick's and on the Watervliet High football and baseball fields. I now know that Jim Britton and Berney are again sharing their wonderful friendship. God bless all.

I met Berney around 1987. Although he was a few years older than I, and despite our growing up on opposite sides of the country, Berney and I had a lot in common. Both of us were pretty good athletes in high school and college, both served in the U.S. Army, we both graduated from law school, we practiced law in North San Diego County, and both of us received appointments as federal Administrative Law Judges. Berney and I shared a law office in Carlsbad for a time, until he went to work for Founders Club Golf Company. A few years thereafter, Berney became a judge, and we didn't have much contact, except for the occasional phone call. More than anyone else, Berney encouraged me to apply for the ALJ position, and I am grateful to him for that. While Berney was assigned first to the Long Beach Hearing Office, then to the San Diego office, I was shipped off to Morgantown, West Virginia, then to the San Bernardino hearing office. Consequently, we didn't have much contact as judges, save for the occasional judges' conferences or other training get-togethers, but we checked in with each other every few months, and kept each other up to date on our respective personal and professional lives.

How would I describe Berney? Berney was a mensch. He didn't pull any punches. If he didn't like someone, for whatever reason (politicians were favorite punching bags), he would say so without hesitation, with plenty of salt thrown in, just to make sure you knew where he stood. Berney was a stand-up guy, and he expected others to be so as well. Physically, he pushed himself to the max, continuing to rock climb and hike, despite having more joint replacements than joints. He loved and was devoted to his parents, his kids (that doesn't mean he agreed with all of their decisions), and especially his beautiful wife, Colette. Berney had an old fashion sense of responsibility, to his family and his friends. He was old school and tough, but he also had compassion for those less fortunate than he. Berney had a great sense of humor and of irony, which he seldom hid from view. He left us way too soon.
