Frank Bernardi's Obituary
Frank Bernardi, age 72, of Pleasant Hills, passed away peacefully on Sunday, December 28, 2025. Frank was born in Pittsburgh on August 23, 1953, the son of the late Frank and Helen (Zenchenko) Bernardi.
Frank graduated from Thomas Jefferson High School in 1971 and went on to further his education at Point Park University. Over the course of his career, Frank held various positions and ultimately retired as a driver from Shire Oaks Yard.
Frank had a lifelong love of motorcycles and took great pride in customizing them. He was the proud owner of two Harley-Davidsons and found true enjoyment on the open road. An avid traveler, he especially cherished road trips and motorcycle meet-ups, where the camaraderie of fellow riders meant a great deal to him. In his younger years, Frank was also an enthusiastic outdoorsman who enjoyed fishing and hunting.
Those who knew him well will remember his calm demeanor, and that he was the master of missions! A wonderful uncle and a beloved figure to his great nieces and nephews, always bringing joy and warmth into their lives.
Frank is survived by his sister, Lisa Watson; his brother-in-law, Miles Caughey; and many beloved nieces, nephews, great-nieces, and great-nephews. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his sister, Susan Caughey.
