12/10/1953 - 10/28/2026
Joe passed away peacefully at home with his wife at his side.
Joe loved unconditionally. He was the calm to my storm. My sounding board. My confidant. My encyclopedia. The life to my party. My comforter. He had a dry-wit and deadpan humor I sorely miss. He was a character.
Joe was born in New Orleans, Louisiana to Joseph A. Bernard Sr. and Gertrude Arnoult Bernard, both deceased.
Joe leaves behind his wife Nancy Jorgensen Bernard, four children, five grandchildren, three bonus grandchildren, two brothers, and a plethora of extended family and friends.
In keeping with Joe's wishes, there will be no visitation or services. The family would like to express their heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has supported them through this time.
The family asks that a donation be made to the organization of your choice in Joe's memory.
When you think of Joe, please do not mourn or weep tears of sadness or loss. Think of the good times, tell the funny stories, and laugh tears of joy.
