Born in New York to Joseph and Lena Schiffer, Bernie graduated from CCNY and played a few seasons of pro basketball. Schiffer served in the U.S. Navy during World War 2 and after the war, he would become a teacher and coach at Taft High School.

From here, the trail gets muddy. There was a Bernard Schiffer who was involved with city goverment in White Plains, New York. It might be the same guy. White Plains Schiffer was still around in 1987, living in Monsey with a son, Eric.

Bernie married Marguerite Clark (b. 1922 - died before March 2005) in 1946
