My dad took me to my first Flyers game when I was 4 years old in 1975. We sat in the second row behind the glass. I was lucky enough to get a puck and my dad took some great pics of Bernie Parent with and without his mask that I cherish. I had the pleasure of meeting Bernie at multiple shore points. I didn't know the man but he seemed to be everywhere and always seemed like the life of the party. I feel like the Flyers won't win another Stanley Cup until they find the next Bernie Parent…on and off the ice. RIP #1.
I would say in the past 60 years of all the pro athletes of the SIXERS, PHILLIES, EAGLES AND FLYERS the two most beloved are Bernie Parent and Bobby Clark. When they led the Flyers to the Stanley Cup Philly had basement teams in every pro league. Bernie stood on his head to beat the Bruins. The Flyers beat those beantown hot heads 4 games to 2 and all of Boston was sulking in their mugs. And Bernie and Bobby lead the way again the next year. Philadelphia will always love Bernie Parent.
RIP Bernie. I remember in the alumni game in 2012 at 66 years old you came out in your pads and stopped a breakaway and shut the alumni rangers out. Absolutely amazing
Growing up in the late 60s and early 70s in Philly, Bernie was legendary and one of my idols. I had the pleasure of meeting him a few times later in his life, and he was always easy to talk to and a Flyer to the end… It's been a rough year in Philly. We lost Bernie and just recently Pierre Robert of WMMR, but we live on…

Absolutely wonderful he was a great human being the likes of which will never be seen again in the Delaware Valley.
"Some fun, eh?" What a great attitude he had.
