I was so sorry to read about the passing of Franchot Bernard. He lived in the same apartment complex as my family. 1141 Seaboard Ave. He lived in apartment #8 and we lived in apt. #5 long ago. His Dad Jeremiah and his Mom who we called Bootsy were not only neighbors but our friends too. The last time I saw Franchot was on Memorial Dr near Hill St at a gas station with construction clothes on coming from work. He always had that beautiful smile on his face. He will truly be missed.

We first met in 1972 at The Fulton Boys Club, then classmate at Bass High School c/o 82. Every time we saw each other we were greeted with a smile and a hug. On behalf of William A. Bass High School Class of 1982 we send our heartfelt condolences and prayers during this time of sorrow. We pray that God strengthen you all during this moment and beyond. Mike Roberts

Mr. Franchot this is so hard for me. I wanted so bad to help you and be that rock for you. I had just talked to you and you sounded so good and so positive. I don't know where the turn took and it crushed me. To your family we loved him so much at 488. He was our baby even though he was older. I will pray for your strength and that he watches over you. Love him and miss him already.

Cynthia Edwards

Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
