Dr, Bronson was a legend, a brilliant and humble man. I truly appreciated the leadership of Dr. Bronson. He was the President of two institutions,The Interdenominational Theological Center and Bethune Cookman University that I also attended both of these great institutions. However, he left the ITC before I got there and he came to BCU just as I graduated. I am so grateful for his contribution to both academia and the ministry. Rest well my friend, rest from you labor!

I write this on behalf of my late mother and father who attended and graduated from Bethune Cookman (Geraline Lewis Gilyard and Isadore Henry Gilyard). To the family, Dr. Bronson was an influential person I would see him speak at Ebenezer United Methodist Church in Miami, FL. and the choir would come. I will never forget those Sundays. He always said if your parents attended Cookman then you are a Cookmanite too and I thank him for that.

I had the occasion to hear Dr. Bronson on a few different occasions including graduation ceremonies. A giant among men, he was powerful and compassionate, a rare combination of qualities. He has been a role model to students as well as citizens whose lives he touched. What a blessing to have watched this man pass on his legacy to Volusia County. My thoughts are with his family.

The works and contributions of Dr. Bronson are legendary. He will be remembered not only as the President of B-CU but a "FRIEND". Many thanks to the family for your unwavering sacrifice by sharing him with many academic communities. Anyone who has known him share in your loss. He will be greatly missed. Blessed are they that mourn, for they shall be comforted. St. Matthew 5:4.
