An amazing man who wore his heart on his sleeve and what an enormous heart it was, his emotions were always positive and always brimming over and he was loved for it. An unstoppable ball of energy with that unquantifiable ability to fill the space he occupied (and more) with charisma and a radiant 1000 watt smile. The description "larger than life" is used all too often to label people (often incorrectly), but I think the person that first coined the phrase must have been standing in a room with Bernell. With the wisdom of a sage, the fun and freedom of spirit of a child and the most infectious laugh ever he will be missed so very much by all that he met and touched. All that heard him speak at MAD were incredibly lucky to have been inspired by this wonderful leader, the laughter and inspired shift in energy when that great voice boomed around the room was awesome to behold. I'm sure I speak for all who knew this truly lovely man when I send love, hugs and the best possible wishes to Bernell's family, you are in all of our thoughts. Rest in peace Bernell xxx
