Bernard Arthur Herringshaw, known affectionately as Bernie to his friends and family, passed away on March 11, 2024, at the age of 84 in Easley, SC. Born on January 26, 1940, in Salisbury, NY, Bernie lived a full life characterized by his loving nature, gentle spirit, and a sense of humor that brought smiles to all who knew him.
Bernie was a devoted husband to his wife, Joann, with whom he shared a beautiful life filled with love and laughter.

Bernie's work ethic was as strong as his character. Throughout his life, he took pride in his various careers, beginning as a truck driver, then honing his skills as a machinist, and eventually applying his artistic touch to paint and body work. His love for precision and excellence was also evident in the meticulous care he took while riding his zero-turn mower, an activity he greatly enjoyed.
A man of many interests, Bernie's passions included hunting, immersing himself in old movies on TV, and reveling in the melodies of old music. His love for music extended to playing the guitar, a hobby that brought him great joy and provided countless hours of entertainment for his family and friends.
Those who knew Bernie will remember him as a loving father, a faithful husband, and a loyal friend. His funny anecdotes and gentle demeanor were hallmarks of his personality, making him a beloved figure in the lives of many.
