Thomas Bernard Obituary

Thomas Rogan Bernard, Sr., 73, died on March 12, 2020 at home after a long illness. He is survived by his wife of 51 years Barbara Coates Bernard and four children, Zola Marie Trascher, Richard Joseph Bernard, Thomas Rogan Bernard, Jr., and Virginia Rose Maggiore, and 8 grandchildren. It was his wish that his body be donated to LSU Medical School in hope that research into Parkinsonism can be advanced. A memorial gathering will be held at a later date for family and friends.

I am saddened to hear about my friend Tommy. I considered him my best friend growing up in New Orleans and will always remember the good times we had tinkering with everything from boats and cars to slot car racing. We both admitted to each other that the best thing that ever happened to each of us was the wife we married and the family they gave us. I wish that I had done a better job of keeping in touch and I will miss him greatly. Tommy was a really good guy.
