He attended Saint James High School in Chester, PA and went on to receive his bachelor’s degree from Saint Joseph’s University. While attending Saint Joseph’s, he worked at Ingleneuk Tea House in Swarthmore, PA where he met the love of his life, Edna Carr. They married and shared 62 wonderful years. After graduation, he enlisted in the U.S. Navy. He started employment with State Farm Insurance Company in 1963, serving in several positions until his retirement in 2011 as an agent.

Bernie is predeceased by his parents Bernard and Almeda Haughey and his sister Margret Stegnerski.

He was blessed with his seven grandchildren who brought him great joy: Melanie, Eric, Brendan, Madeline, Katie, Mary, and Alyssa.

Bernie and his wife Edna created an amazing family and instilled a strong sense of togetherness. He enjoyed bike riding, including rides to the Jersey Shore, motorcycling along the East Coast, being in nature and walking through Valley Forge Park.
