Bernardo Guzman

Bernardo Guzman was born in San Antonio, Texas on August 20,1929 to Mariano Guzman and Anita Brosch.

Bernie, a retired United States Air Force Senior Master Sergeant, spent over 20 years in the Texas Air National Guard. He served during the Korean War during which time he was stationed in Japan. He not only spoke English but also Spanish, German and some Japanese.

Known for his wonderful sense of humor, Bernie was quite the jokester. He loved making people laugh, sharing jokes, and bringing smiles to those around him. He had a special place in his heart for sweet bread, enjoyed trying his luck at the casino, and never passed up an opportunity to listen to good music or get out on the dance floor. And every now and then, he enjoyed a cold Coors Light.

He was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Pauleen, and his three sisters, Hortense De La O, Mary Escobedo, and Emeteria Guzman Zamora.

Those who remain to carry his memory forward include his daughter, Paula Ann Hernandez; his two grandsons, Richard Hernandez and Sean Hernandez; his great-granddaughter.

As we say goodbye, we remember a life filled with history, service, and family. Though his journey has come to an end, the memories he leaves behind will continue to live on through those who loved him.

“Time is something that cannot be bought, it cannot be wagered with God and it is not in endless supply, time is simply how you live your life.”
