Dear Family and Friends,

You are warmly invited to join us for a virtual memorial celebrating the life of my dear husband, Bernhard “Bernie” Haisch, who passed away on September 3, 2026.

Bernie touched so many lives through his love of family and friends, his curiosity about the universe, and his lifelong dedication to scientific discovery. We hope this gathering will bring together the many people who knew and loved him.

Kate Haisch and Jason Brenneman will host the Zoom gathering, and I will be participating as well. We will share photographs, music, stories, and fond memories of Bernie. Whether you would like to share a special memory or simply join us in remembering him, we would love to have you there.

Our hope is that this will be an opportunity for everyone who knew Bernie, both near and far, to come together and celebrate his life with love and joy.
