Oh, we are all so so sad to hear the news of dear Bernie's sudden death. He was such a BIG man, fearless and brave who inspired us all with his strength and determination. He achieved much and he will long be remembered. The first time I met him and was introduced he just gave me a big hug which I shall always remember. His words at MAD were so wonderful he just inspired and helped us all. I agree with all the words that have been used about him - passionate, loving, gifted and so many others. He will be remembered and greatly missed by us all.
