Was sitting around a campfire last night with my brother, John Berne, and we were talking about football. John Is not a huge fan but said he was gonna root Sunday for Kansas City because somewhere out in the world his best friend RD was rooting for them. Said he hadn’t been able to locate his long lost buddy in years. As we sat around the fire, I googled RD’s name and, sadly, came across this obituary. First time I ever saw my brother cry. We sat around and listened to John tell some crazy stories of the adventures those two did in California for so many years. He sounded like a wonderful friend and I guess I just wanted to let the family know that there is someone else who grieves with your family. Peace to all.
