BERTRAM H. KORNFELD

I will always remember Bert as a happy, smiling and kind person. He loved singing with the opera company.

We just found out about Bert's passing. He and I sang together in the opera company chorus, and I would get him Met tickets when I could. We certainly regret your loss, and we hope that Adele and the family are doing well.

I was a student at Fels from 68-71 and played violin in the orchestra. One day in 9th grade, my best friend, also a violinist, and I, decided to cut an assembly that featured a student rock band. We were playing Eine Kleine Nachtmusik in a practice room when in walked Mr. Kornfeld. We thought we'd be in big trouble for cutting the assembly. Imagine our surprise when Mr. Kornfeld sat down at piano and played with us. This gesture had so much of an impact on us, that she and I were reminiscing...

So sorry to hear of Bert's loss. My sympathies to his family and my apologies for not being able to attend his funeral today. I knew Bert for many years when I sang with him in the Opera Company of Philadelphia professional AGMA chorus through the 80s. He was a terrific, happy and always pleasant person as well as a stalwart member of the opera chorus for many years. Bert was one of the nicest persons anyone could ever know. Rest in peace dear Bert.

Dear David, My sincerest condolences to you, and your family. Janet Chevres

Mr. Kornfeld was my vice principal from 1984-86 and my Mother's Counselor in the late 60's. He was a great man. He helped me in so many ways. I couldn't even count. He gave me a chance when no one else would. He also guided my mother through tough times when she was there. You could trust and confide in him. I will ever be grateful for what he has done for me. I am a Philadelphia Fire Lieutenant because he kept me on the right path. He always knew what to do and how to direct you. I still...
