Bernard "Bernie" Tarr

Bernie was born in Boston. He enjoyed a long, happy marriage to Irene Tarr, of blessed memory, and later found happiness with his wife Dolly (Shapiro) Tarr. Bernie grew up in Dorchester, attended Northeastern and enjoyed a long career as a stock broker. Although he worked hard, he made sure he was home to have dinner with his family every night.

He is survived by his loving wife Dolly (Shapiro) Tarr; children Alyson Popper and her husband Jeff, Nelson Tarr and his wife Meredith, and Kimberlee Schumacher; grandchildren Isaac and Brandon Popper, Ilyssa and Shayna Tarr, and Isabel Schumacher. Bernie will also be missed by his nephew Bruce Caplan, Dolly’s son Michael Shapiro and his children Benjamin, Jacob and Ari, Dolly’s daughter Caren Shapiro and her son Jason Chalifour, and beloved dog Buddy.

A private graveside burial is planned for the family.

In Bernie’s memory, please consider a donation to the Brooksby Scholarship Fund or the American Diabetes Association. .
