Alfred "Al" Bernard

My heart sinks to learn of his passing because I was just telling someone, "I wish I could find this band director that had such a profound impact on my early life." I wish I had had the opportunity to tell him how much I appreciated his guidance - I went on to receive a doctorate in music and much can be contributed to the so meaningful influence he had on my early music education. Word to the wise - don't make my mistake - tell them while they're alive.

Thank you Mr. Bernard - I hope...

To the Bernard Family, My heart and prayers are with you at this time.Memories of the radiant smile, the kind, enthusiastic passion for excellence that Mr. Bernard shared since I first met him as one of his band students @ Northwestern High School will forever be cherished. An exquisite motivator who sought to bring out the best in everyone he met. I will keep you in my prayers.
