Together, Bernie and Linda owned the Tucker Hollow Boat Dock for over 30 years.   Bernie loved Tucker Hollow along with all of the friends he made throughout the years who became family as well.   Bernie was happiest sitting on the dock, chatting away with anyone and everyone stopping by.  He never met a stranger; everyone was a friend, and he would give you the shirt of his back if you needed it. For those who knew Bernie, you could not think of Tucker Hollow without thinking of him.   Bernie loved his family and was the absolute best husband, dad and grandpa.   

Bernie was “one of a kind”.

A Celebration of Bernie’s Life will be held at Tucker Hollow in the Spring, an exact date to be announced.
