Bernard was one of the best men I have known. He was kind and caring of others. He prayed for people . He loved the children he taught. He went above and beyond for them. He never said anything unkind about anyone. He always had a smile on his face. He was always a pleasure to be around. He will be greatly missed. RIP Bernard. Until we meet again. 🙏 😇 💔 💙

Bernard was one of the greatest teachers and finest Christian men I have ever met. So honored to call him friend.
