I just now heard of John's passing.  My thoughts and prayers go to his family.  John was quite a man with a wonderful sense of humor.  I will miss him greatly at the shows-

On behalf of National Commander Jim Roberts the prayers of The Sons of The American Legion are with the family as we praise God for the life of this member. May he rest in peace as the fruits of his service to community, state, and nation flourish.

May the good LORD watch over you and your famlies in this hour of need. I as well will keep a prayer going              Paul A McCarthy

Was riding on a country road  yesterday and came upon this field of horses and this song on my cd was playing and the lyrics, were: Run into the arms of Jesus, and I said a prayer and visualized John doing just that, and it brought much peace and comfort to me and prayed that it will bring much to all of the Bernier family. A flood of memories hit me and the tears are coming in waves,but it was just cool thinking that this is where he is. I will miss him, He is at peace,and he is in a much better place than we are. Prayers to all of you, he will be greatly missed.

 My heart goes out to all Johnny's family and friends at such a sad time..I didn't know Johnny but through my dear nephew Bobby Vallee for keeping us all updated I felt like I did..I do know he was one hell of a great guy who was loved by many and is going to be greatly missed..He will leave a void in many hearts but thank goodness for all the great memories(I've read a few from Bobby) for they will live on forever...I feel your pain..My deepest sympathies to all...Bobby Valle's Aunti

My sympathy is going out to John's family.  Very sad to hear this news he was too young to die.

My heart and prayers go out to Janie, her family, & John's friends. I am so very sorry for your loss. My deepest sympathies to you all. Rest in peace John.

WHAT A SHOCK TO HEAR OF JOHNS PASSING GREAT GUY RIP OL FRIEND

Our heart felt condolences to the Bernier Family and friends.

John knew more about trailers of all types than any other five men on the planet combined. Dealers around the northeast will miss his expertise and friendly nature. The powersports industry here in Maine has lost a real giant. John put "Road King" on the map - big time. My sincere condolences to his family.

Aunt Viv and family -- I am so sorry I cannot be there in person to express my heartfelt condolences. I am in shock and I can only imagine the pain that you all must feel right now. His life was way too short. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time. And I will always remember him as "Johnny."

Uncle John,

I will never forget the fun times Angel, Kristy and I had with you when we were kids.

I remember you and my mom taking us to Fun Town and O.O.B all the time when we were kids.  

I remember you taking us Snowmobiling.

And who can forget Angel's bachelorette party in O.O.B. when you told me to pee under the pier because it was late and the bathrooms were closed.  (I got caught peeing by a cop, I almost got a ticket for indecent exposure)

I'm going to miss you Uncle John!  Now you are with Kristy!

I will see you again someday Uncle John!  Always in my thoughts and forever in my heart!

I LOVE YOU!

Love Your Niece, 

Nickie

Uncle John, 

  Even though your gone your memory still remains in my heart. Your smile and face will never fade. I will think of you as I go on each day. The good times I remember and the days spent together will be in my memories forever. 

   When I start to get down and I really want to cry, I will just think of the fun times and don't wonder why. I know your better now and your in a better place. Your heart was right with God. 

  Uncle John, you were so young and I will never understand why, but I want you to know that I love you and I will miss you so much! Rest in Piece Uncle John! 

I'm glad I got to see you, I'm glad I got to talk to you and I'm so glad I got to give you one last hug and kiss before you passed! 

Uncle John, You are with GOD and Kristy now.

Kristy, it's time to take Uncle John's hand and walk him to heaven.  

Love, 

Nickie

Jane, John's family and friends - My heart hurts for the sudden loss of John. My hearts feels the love as I read Bob's account of John's passage from this life to eternal life.

I am at a total loss for words and deeply saddened to hear of Johns passing,(I still cannot believe it) we have known each other since our early teens and lost touch but when we did run into each other it was a big hug and a glow in his eyes. I will always cherish the memories of great conservation with John as teens at the lake and we always had lots of fun together. He had a demeanor about him that brought quiet to the room in a peaceful way, I always felt safe with John. and laugh oh boy did we laugh all the time. John will always have a special place in my heart and share my deepest sympathies to the family, I am so very very very sorry for the loss of a great person, dad and brother he loved his family very much and was there for everyone. May you rest in peace my dear friend(in my heart always)

Rest in Peace John. You will be sadly missed. My heart felt sympathies go out to Johns family.

Well bro we danced before and i,m sure, when we meet again we will dance that dance once more.          I will never ever forget u..chris                                           p.s remebering them early early morning dashes for the thanksgiving turkey we could never eat anyways:(

My deepest sympathies to Johnny's entire family and his many friends in such a tragic time. Words can't express how sad I am of the sudden loss of such a great Son, Brother, Father, Pepere and terrific friend. He would do anything for anybody and was always generous with a big smile on his face. He was like a Brother to me and I can't believe that I won't get to grow old with my best friend as we so recently talked about. I will miss his voice, his laugh and companionship. He was taken from us all much too soon and my life will be changed forever without him, I will miss him terribly. Godspeed Johnny, leave the light on for me till we meet again.

My sympathies to johns family and friends..may all your memories ..be comforting..and..enjoyable...

Rest in peace. keep em on thier toes up there in heaven.

 Gone to soon. Our prayers and heart felt sympathy to Johns family and friends for such a tragic loss. He will be missed by many.

Rest in piece uncle john. I love you and will always miss you.

To all my family in Maine, you are all in my thoughts at this time.

My heart is sad,John was so young ,my prayers and thoughts are with the family and close friends of his. I haven't seen john for  ahwhile but, it feels like yesterday, growing up in new auburn,graduating etc....the emotions are overwhelming.Godspeed my friend

We are so saddened to hear about John. Our heartfelt sympathy and prayers go out to you all for your terrible loss.
