Past Plymouth VFW Post Quartermaster Had Positive Impact

Former VFW Quartermaster, Larry Bernier has passed away. While there was no memorial, Larry's memory remains, and his legacy was positive...

Recently, a former Quartermaster of the Plymouth VFW Post passed away. There was no obituary, no memorial, just notice that this veteran, who served our nation in the Army, had passed away. Some of the members of the Plymouth VFW Post 6695 felt quite strongly that they would like a few words said for this man that had such a positive influence on the special place that they gather at.

Past Plymouth VFW Post Commander, Bob Bryan expressed his thoughts, and here they are:

"Back around 2001/2002, Larry Bernier proved to be a true asset to our Plymouth VFW Post. Larry stepped up in a time of need, and filled the Quartermaster's position, when nobody else was willing to do so. He also volunteered to take over as Lounge Manager, and he did it without being paid, for many years, in order to help save our VFW Post some much needed money.

Larry loved being at the post, he loved being around the guys at the post, and everything he did, he did with the best interests of the post in mind. His wife Marion was much the same way. What a wonderful couple they were. Larry will be truly missed by me, and a great many of our members. Our Plymouth VFW Post is a much better place, because of Larry, and his unselfish efforts to help make it better. I'll always consider myself a successful Past Commander, because of Larry's guidance, and mentorship. In remembrance to a good guy! " ----Bob Bryan

And with those words from Past Commander, Bob Bryan, maybe those of you who are so inclined, could maybe say a little prayer for Larry Bernier, and his wife Marion tonight...
