Mr. Bernardo, may you RIP. You were one of my favorite teachers in HS. I took honors chemistry with you and your sense of humor was unmatched. You made chemistry fun, as weird as that may sound, and our group always looked forward to your class. Your legacy will live within each one of us that you taught. RIP
