Bernie the Great

Today we honor Bernie the great. To some a manager or a colleague, but everyone’s mate.

You picked now to leave? You’re in Eckquitable prime! You finally started joining calls on time.

Retirement will be a whole new lifestyle, no more expense reports for you compile.
Not that you really did that anyway, but at least now there’s no corporate card to pay.

Your 6 years at Eckquitable passed by too quick, and you charmed each of us with your comedy schtick.

We’ve made so many memories that we will all treasure, because working with you has been such a pleasure.

Endless movie references, sales updates with a fun twist, Koozie cup stories, you’ll surely be missed.

That warm positivity that lights up a room – technical difficulties joining a zoom.

You’re a person who cares, a person who shares, like that time you paid me twice for football squares.

When the Chiefs make the Superbowl, I’ll think of you! And probably start craving some BBQ…

Like a bird in a cage, we must set you free. So you can sleep in, and drink beer and ride ATVs.

Dorothy was right, there’s no place like home. So start clicking those heels, back to Kansas you go.

One thing is certain that I’ll note herein – Work won’t be the same without Heffernin.

Upbeat, country rock
