Bernard (Bernie) Lee Nottingham, 80, died Friday, September 14, 2018 at home surrounded by family after an all-too-short battle with cancer. Bernie was born on March 22, 1938 and was a longtime resident of North Hills, CA. He was a brother, an uncle, and a friend to many. He was a very generous man to family and everyone that called him a friend. He was a brother to John (wife Sharon) and Kathy (husband Don). He was an uncle to Michelle, Garth, David (wife Michele), Teresa (husband Cole), and Daniel (wife Jen). Loved by his grand nieces and nephews Shana, Kyle, Christina, Rebekah, Tyler, Wyatt, and Jillian. Bernie was preceded in death by his parents, Gilbert and Vera Nottingham, and brother, Robert (Bobby) Nottingham. Bernie served in the Marines for 6 years. After his service, he worked as an electrician for over 30 years as a member of local #11. Bernie was always there to lend a helping hand to friends and family. He was always there to take time to show his nieces and nephews what he was working on around the house and in the garage. He showed his nieces and nephews how to work on cars, ride dirt bikes, remodel houses, and how to wire in electrical. He always had at least 1, and often many, projects that he was working on around the house and in his garage, and he left behind many more unfinished projects. He was our brother, our uncle, and we are very proud of him and he will be missed.
