A tribute to Bernie Banton

November 27, 2007

Firstly we at PaleBLuDot would like to offer our deepest condolences to Bernie’s Family and Friends on his passing early this morning. I didn’t know Bernie personally, however I got to see what a fighter he was and how he stood up for those who couldn’t stand up for themselves, and for that Bernie we salute you.

Bernie Banton was the courageous and tough man who took on building products giant James Hardie. During his battle with James Hardie he was instrumental in helping to establish a $4 Billion fund to compensate asbestos victims.

I would also like to show a video from YouTube called Snowmen, I like to call this video ‘Bernie’s Fight’. The video briefly discusses the story behind Bernie Banton’s fight with James Hardie.
