Bernard was a good fellow and played the piano like a professional. He was kind and wanted the best for those he loved. Rest in Peace, Sir Bernard.

I went to high school with Bernard & he was a kind & compassionate person. He loved his family & he loved basketball. A full ride athletic scholarship to the college of his choice was his dream come true. While it did not lead to the professional career he´d hoped for - he was elated & excited about the opportunity. His smile would light up a room & his compassion for others was genuine.
