Bernard “Bernie” Scheiman
1933-2020
Born in the Bronx, New York. He raised his family in North White Plains, NY and he died after a short illness in Jersey City, New Jersey on October 3, 2020.
Loving husband, father, and grandfather. He was known as a man who always wanted to help others. From his countless hours, days and years of service to the Boy Scouts in Westchester county where he was awarded the Silver Beaver for his dedication. When his wife was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s he chose to dedicate his time to the Alzheimer’s Association to help others cope with the challenges of the unrelenting impact of the disease on those who provide support.
He was known for his cheerful demeanor and ability to make everyone smile.
He and his family were members of the Hebrew Institute of White Plains. It was there that they learned their Jewish values and traditions that they still cherish today.
He is predeceased by his wife, Norma. He is survived by his son Paul and his wife Gretchen, and his grandsons Zachary and Noah. His daughter Miriam and her wife Becky. His brother Adolph. His close companion, Elaine Brownstein.
In lieu of flowers, the family would like donations either to the Alzheimer’s Association or the Boy Scouts of America.

October 5, 2020 at 8:28 amDear Paul and Miriam,
I am so sorry for your loss. As the Administrator of HIWP, I got to know Bernie very well through his work as chairperson of Leisure Thursday and a friend to the office. With his bright smile and gentle way, Bernie’s visits to HIWP were always enjoyable. As a veteran, Alzheimer and senior advocate, dedicated member of HIWP, and all around mensch, Bernie was a pillar of the community and he will be missed. May his memory be a comfort to you.

October 5, 2020 at 9:45 amLosing a parent does not seem to get easier with age, as that love and wisdom seems to grow with years. Though I did not know your father/grandfather, it is clear by your words the impact and legacy he will leave behind. God will ease the intensity of the loss and slowly replace them with the memories of his life. Condolences, thoughts and prayers to Bernard’s family. May God be with you as you heal.
