Bernard Paget, Sr.

Bernard Paget, Sr. passed peacefully to the Angels on November 6, 2020. Born to Walter and Ellen Przeworski on April 5, 1929. Bernie rose from his humble beginnings to operate successful taverns, restaurants and properties. Most notably Bernie and Melba’s Pine Lodge, O’Paget’s Speakeasy and Buck Bradley’s Saloon and Eatery.
