    I am both sad and surprised at hearing you’ve gone to a better place Bernard. I’ll forever have “our” memory of the laughs we shared at SEC but the most cherished will be the dinner date that you, Tonya and I shared as well as the “big” hug we shared when we each departed after dinner. I will hold on to that forever. My deepest Condolences to your family and know I’ll never forget you – never. RIP my friend and God Bless. Love You!!
