What a Man!  What a Heart!  What a Class Act!  What Fun!  And, Oh What Stories!  Stuart, You Will be Sooo Missed!

Oh Stuart, I'm still in shock. Such a charmingly wonderful man, with a quick smile and twinkling eyes... and so artistic! He was (and still is) so proud of all of his family and loved them so deeply. He was such a great friend and good hugger!  His legacy will be such wonderful memories to all who were fortunate to know him.
And to Vira, how many of us have been fortunate enough to have found our soul mate and had the pleasure of embracing him for so many years. How lucky you both have been.
For all who loved Stuart, be open for signs.  He may play a prank or two on you to make you smile. 
With love,

I remember Stuart from my earliest days.  Whenever I'd come down to Florida we'd meet.  He always treated my parents so well.  I am so sorry that he is gone.  I know that he was a good and generous man.  With Stuart those are not just words.  He really was.  I will miss my cousin Stuart more than I can say.  Charles Bernstein

My deepest empathy for my surrogate family. 
Dr. B, as he was affectionately refered to by many, will always be 
remembered by his cool charm, 
subtle sophistication, refined taste and undaunted integrity. Mostly though, I will remember him by the kind gestures and the exemplaray way he  treated others. More importantly, I will remember him through the one's who were true recipient's of his legacy and whose lives he so profoundly impacted.

My prayers are with the Bernstein family. He will be remembered for his many attributes, including being a good and decent gentleman, father, friend and neighbor. RIP, Stuart.

Vira, so sorry for your loss...My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Vira, My Deepest Condolences to you and your Family! So many wonderful memories, such an Incredible person!!

"Over the course of the average lifetime you meet a lot of people. Some of them stick with you through thick and thin. Some weave their way through your life and disappear forever. But once in a while someone comes along who earns a permanent place in your heart."-Kevin Arnold (Wonder Years).

Stuart Bernstein is someone who has earned a place in all of our hearts. My heart goes out to my Aunt Vira, his children, grandchildren and loved ones who will also miss him dearly. I am grateful to have known him and have shared so many wonderful memories with him. He will always be someone I'll look up to, admire and strive to be more like. Life is what you make of it and he definitely made one to be proud of. When I think of Uncle Stuart I will think of him with a smile on his face because he lived his life to the fullest and would want all of us to do the same.

To Vira and the Bernstein Family, With Sincere Sympathy...Hoping that each memory gives you the comfort that you need to heal.

Dear Bernstein family, we have broken hearts thinking that Stuart has left us.  We have shared so many wonderful years of friendship, travel, dinners, laughter and adventure.  Stuart was friend who always had a smile and loved to share his many travel and family stories.  He will be truly missed.  With love to all of you.

Dearest Vira, so sorry to hear about Stu- your love, your generosity to all of us, your happiness will always be an inspiration. Tonight I'm putting on my finest hat for Stu. 

Much love to you - big hug. Ann Price

To Vira and my Bernstein cousins,

I will always remember Stuart as a caring, funny, and talented man who was so proud of his children and grandchildren. Stuart will always remain in my heart and in my memories of him.  Love from your cousins, Susie, Matthew, and Stephen

Cheryl, Vira, Ann, Ken, Duane, Glenn and all who loved Stuart, thank you for sharing your husband and father with me these past 25 years. Who among us can boast of the pleasure every dental appointment with Bernstein père afforded (or even the words 'pleasure' and 'dental' in the same sentence!), over a twenty year period. The doc himself, Paula, and Judy were all pure professionalism and quality, but after studying the blown-up photo and the doc's metal artwork, it was the Man himself the heart of the place and who set a daily example of wisdom and humility. Always, always a great smile, a travel story, usually involving great wine and often the South of France, or his bursting pride in his wonderful grandchildren, every visit was a delight. Stuart was my dentist, yes, and the father of 4 quality people I consider life friends, but his joie de vivre, his zest for adventure, his (un)common decency, his professional and technical excellence, all combine to a life unusually well-lived, unfortunately ended (as most good ones are) too soon. I have been honored to know this fine man, this Mensch. 
Love, your friend Kevin

A Man/saint/ best dentist/ greatest guy-husband there ever was.  You will be missed.

Stuart was a "one of a kind man";  always smiling, happy and friendly.  We will miss him.

I could not believe my eyes when I read his name in the obituaries. I feel like I lost a family member. Our whole family went to him for more than 40 years. He always got a kick out of me calling him a "Cutie Patootie". He was a loving, caring, humorous man that you just loved to be in his company. The only thing painful about  him were some of his corny jokes. I cried when he sold his practice. There will never be anyone who can truly replace him. R.I.P., Dr. Stu. My Scats is already up there. He would love to see you. My deepest sympathy to his entire family. We have lost a good, good man

Stuart was admired by so many.  Vera, so sorry for your loss.  You will truly miss the love of your life and best friend.
