We first met Bernie Nofziger years ago at the Shiva Bar, where La Porteña is now. His business card listed a Lebanon, OR address, although he often mentioned a town called Sisters, in Oregon.
On the front, his card has a Mr. Magoo figure, and says "I spent most all of my money on women and booze. The rest I just wasted. Now, I am on a low fixed income. Need Help!"
On the back, it says: "By accepting this card you have agreed to buy Bernie a drink of choice."

We saw Bernie and Sherry when we were down in December. He still had his hat....the rattiest straw hat ever.

When we're down in a couple of weeks, we'll have that drink Bernie. RIP

93. Lost his wife and both sons over the years. Was still able to greet people with a smile. A special guy

Sadly I never introduced myself to Bernie. Many memories of him dancing with his favorite ladies at Paccolo’s.

I remember him! He was a happy dude!!! I didn't see him on any of my recent visits but he had to be pushing 90 or even more by now. RIP

Our condolences to Sherry. We met Bernie on his honeymoon a few years ago. Since then he always Said hello and greeted with a smile. A sad day indeed.

very sad and possibly could have been avoided. I saw him three weeks ago drinking a beer slowly and smiling at Eloina s.

Just heard that Bernie has passed. Zihua has lost an icon.

It was reported on the radio this morning that he died from Covid-19 and that he was NOT vaccinated at all.

I assume that this is Bernie, a.k.a Mr. McGoo.

Bernie the cheese guy? He just dropped some chorizo off yesterday afternoon for me. So sad if that’s true.

Yes, an icon and good friend. A very positive person. Glad we got to spend time with him a couple of weeks ago. He will be missed.
