Martinez family,
I am very sorry for your loss. I have very fond memories of Bernie, working for him at Johnson foods. He was a very nice, funny man. It was very kind of him to provide summer jobs for a few of us high school boys. I have never looked at a corndog the same since 1981.
Best Regards,
Tim McKiernan

Hi, my name is Mary Guzman. My mom Mrs. Lila Martinez knew your husband, father very well. My late father Lt. Col Thomas H. Martinez. My mom does not know how to communicate with Natalie but asks about how she is. Could someone call my mom, she still lives at the same address and I am her caregiver and daughter.
God Bless your family.
Mary B. Guzman
