Bernard Angelo Lopez

I think about Bernie often and the AATSP will never be the same without him. When I get emails from them, I expect to see his name which is no longer there. It saddens me. I wish his family the best.

We often spoke about his work. He will be missed by many. I will pray for him

I graduated from the Mount with Bernie in '69. We were good friends. Wonderful man. I'm lucky to have known him

My condolences Nicholas Greco Mount St Michael `69

Bernie´s big heart, smile and genuine kindness will be missed. I was blessed to have beensble to call Bernie a friend. Rest in peace dear one.

So sadden to read of Bernie's passing. He was a stellar member of the Staten Island Chapter of Phi Delta Kappa and I was privileged to call him a friend. His infectious smile will always be remembered. He truly will be missed by his family, friends and educational colleagues. I know his family will miss their personal Santa. The world is a better place for having Bernie in our lives. My prayers and thoughts are with you.

Sending condolences and prayers to Bernard's Family. Rest in Peace, dear friend! You were a great teacher and mentor to students and to colleagues. You will always be remembered for your dedication to students and to your language and culture. You served your students well as a teacher and as an administrator. Your work will not be forgotten.

I was saddened to learn of the passing of Mr. Lopez. He was my Spanish teacher at Monsignor Farrell in my sophomore and junior years (1975 - 1977), and while I never pursued Spanish after high school, I learned a lot from him and I still use Spanish words and phrases I learned in his class all the time. "Cierra la boca" was one of his favorites, not surprising when you´re trying to get control of a class of 35 adolescent boys. And if that command plus his imposing physical presence wasn´t...
