We are shocked and saddened to hear that Bernie Caron died suddenly.
He was a wonderful Theatre At The Pond Board Member here at Brooksby Village in Peabody.
His delightful smile, hearty laugh, good sense of humor and open compassionate heart will be missed by our theatre family.

He introduced a song that I wrote that was promoted by the North Shore Music Theatre. His passion touched me deeply. I will miss him
