Bernard (Bernie) Folan, passed away Sunday, November 28.
Born 1933 to John and Elizabeth Folan in Galway, Ireland.
Immigrated to Canada with his mother, five brothers and sister in 1957. Married the love of his life, Maura, in 1959, and immigrated with her to the US in 1967.

Founded his own company that thrived until he retired the business. In 1997, Bernie and Maura settled in Scottsdale to be near his sister.

He is survived by Maura, two brothers, Eddie and Sean, and countless other family and friends who will miss his life-long mischievousness, the sparkle in his eyes, and his million-dollar smile.

Viewing was Saturday at Hansen Desert Hills on 65th Street and Bell Road, followed by Mass at Saint Joan of Arc and burial service at Paradise Memorial Gardens. Donations can be made in Bernie's name to the Cancer Society. "Musha! God love ye, Olde Schtock."
