Louis Jacob Bernstein, age 93, died peacefully at his home in Durham, N.H., Wednesday afternoon, October 26, 2016, surrounded by his family.
He is survived by his wife of 68 years, Barbara (Freedlander) Bernstein.
Born in Medway, Mass. on December 28, 1922, he was the son of the late Charles and Edith (Siegal) Bernstein.
Mr. Bernstein enlisted in the U.S. Army, proudly serving during World War II with the 5th Armored Division from December 8, 1942 until his honorable discharge on May 7, 1946.
He founded Land Electronics in Lynn, an OEM Electonics Distrubtor, dedicating more than 30 years of his life in successfully running his business.
He earned his Captain’s license and enjoyed taking family and friends out to sea on his boat for fishing trips or to just take in the glory of the open sea. With his great sense of humor, all excursions were always complete with side splitting laughter.
In addition to his beloved wife, Barbara, he is survived by a son, Robert Bernstein and wife, Barbie of Moultonborough, N.H.; two grand children, Nathan Bernstein of Newmarket, N.H. and Aaron Bernstein and wife Paige of York, Maine; three great-grandchildren, Logan Bernstein, Russell Bernstein and April Bernstein; a brother-in-law, Bernie Freedlander and wife, Ethel of Framingham, along with extended family members and friends. He was predeceased by a sister, Ester Titelbaum.
Memorial services will be held Sunday, October 30, 2016 at 1:30 p.m. at Elliott, Woodworth & Rogers Family Funeral Home, 35 Green Street, Newburyport. By request of the family, there will be no visiting hours and burial will be private. Donations in his memory may be made to American Heart Association, P.O. Box 417005, Boston, MA 02241-7005, or to the American Cancer Society, 30 Speen Street, Framingham, MA 01701.

Plant a tree: How does it work
When your purchase is complete, a post will be made on the tribute wall of the deceased signifying the planting of a memorial tree.
An official certificate recognizing your purchase will be included with your email receipt. You can then forward the email to the family or print it and give it to them personally.
After an order is placed, our forestry partners will plant the tree in the area of greatest need (nearest the funeral home), according to the planting schedule for the year.
Due to seasonal conditions, the tree planting takes place during the spring and summer.
