Bernard John Soldate 1939 - 2019 Obituary
Bernard John Soldate "Bernie the Bug", of Simsbury passed away to be with God on Thursday, February 28, 2019 at St. Francis Hospital. Born September 21, 1939 in Hartford son of the late Frank and Anne (Sielicki) Soldate. He leaves behind his wife of 45 years, Susan Tigno of Simsbury; his sister, Elaine (Soldate) McNeely of Bloomfield and sister-in-law, Josie Soldate of Granby. As a dad, he leaves behind a daughter, Dawn McDermott; two sons, Christopher Soldate and Brian Soldate; along with stepchildren, Christina (Tigno) Gardner, Anna (Tigno) Freeman, and Joseph Tigno. As a grandfather he leaves behind Alexa, Justin, and Matthew McDermott, Jordan Soldate, Haley Gardner, Nicholas and Jake Freeman, Tyler, Aubrey, and Nicolette Tigno. As he passed on, he went to join his late twin brother, Frank Soldate and late brother-in-law, Hal McNeely. Bernie and his brother had a craving for collecting cars, boats, jeeps- mostly anything with a motor and became adept in this field, at one point having 10-12 vehicles of all sorts. Bernie came to be fascinated with private investigating, for which came the slogan "Bernie's the name, crimes may game – you pay me good, I'll finger the hood". He also developed the skill of designing and assembling investigating equipment for law enforcement, as well as going on to be a well-known polygraph examiner for 40 years. The world has lost a wonderful, caring man who always helped anyone in need. God has chosen one of the best to join his flock. Praying he will be the one to watch over all of us; do well with God my love. His family will receive friends Thursday, March 7, 2019 from 5-7 PM followed by a 7:00 PM funeral service all at Carmon Windsor Funeral Home, 807 Bloomfield Ave., Windsor. Burial will be Friday, March 8, 2019 a 12:00 PM in Mount St. Benedict Cemetery, Bloomfield.
