So sorry to read of Bernie's passing. We worked many tax seasons together in the 2000's at GHD CPA's and he was just a joy to work with and get to know. Always a smile!
Sending prayers.

Mr Kilbride and his wife Margaret, have been patients at our office, Dr John Steinberg and Associates, for well over 20 yrs! We were so saddened to hear this news as he was just in our office less than two weeks ago and was perfectly healthy. He always was very pleasant and very nice! He took good care of his dental health so we saw him every 6 months!! Our sympathy goes out to Margaret and his entire family. We will miss him very much! May God bless his family. 🙏
