Loving, caring, compassionate, devout catholic, are just a few words to describe Bernard. He was blessed with a large family. His wife was the apple of his eye and his daughters were blessed to have a wonderful man in their life they called dad. He enjoyed going to the fishing camp with his wife, traveling, football and spending time with his family watching Saints and LSU games. Bernard worked for Schlumberger with over 35 years of service until his retirement. Bernard was a parishioner of St. Anthony Catholic Church. He loved working at the church after his retirement. He was also an original member of the Knights of Columbus with St. Anthony Catholic Church. Above all, the love for his family equaled the love he had for the Lord. Bernard now rests in the arms of his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

A special thank you to Terry Daigre, his godson for the love and care at a time of need.
