Obituary
Sympathy
Our heartfelt sympathy goes this week to "Bernie" Bernhardt and their children and the many cousins and friends of his dear, little wife, Marge, who died in the Ocala Hospital on May 22. Marge was originally from Altamont, daughter of Minton Becker who ran a harness and shoe repair shop in the building on Maple Avenue, which is now part of the Enterprise offices. Later, she and Bernie lived in Scotia, on the corner of Fifth Street and Sacandaga Road, where I waited for the bus to Schenectady. Bernie worked at General Electric and, during the war years, he probably took the bus to work.
BUMC
More recently, I have come to know them through the Belleview United Methodist Church in Florida.
We wonder how Bernie will manage in Florida without his Marge. He is in a lovely nursing home. The assisted living facility called Chambrell, where they lived for some time is one of the very best. They were happy and comfortable there and well cared for.
BUMC has a friendly, caring congregation and I am sure they will keep track of Bernie. There are four retired ministers who help and it works well.

Additional Media
Marge wrote me a lovely note a few weeks ago and I quote: "We received our complimentary copy of The Altamont Enterprise and I can't think of anyone to thank for it but you. That sure was a nice article you wrote about visiting us at Chambrel.
"We also enjoyed the article about the new pipe organ being installed in the Lutheran Church at Altamont. I was brought up in that church and, in 1940, Bernie and I were married there. My father (Minton Becker) was janitor there for 25 years, given a retirement party, served for almost 10 years more, and they couldn't get a replacement. The article brought back memories.
"We enjoyed our visit with you and Cindy very much. Come visit us again.
Your friends, Marge and Bernie"
When I wrote back, I told her we would try to see they got a picture of the new organ. For those who may not know, Marge's father was Minton Becker, who ran the harness and shoe repair shop on Maple Avenue now part of the Enterprise facility.
