I am really sad about this. :/ Bernard was one of my favorite characters, and Dave brought him to life quite spectacularly. Needless to say, he will be missed.

Wow. Thank you for sharing this, Blondie. But I really can't read that article right now. I... think I'll just go outside for now. Thank you for telling us. God bless him.

At least it seemed he was put out of his misery. Congestive heart and kidney failure is something I would never want to deal with. Interestingly enough, his role in Adventures in Odyssey did not appear in the article. Hopefully a more detailed obituary will come out sooner.

Bernard was a great character, and I agree that Dave Madden played him wonderfully. :(

I just saw this, and felt like a piece of my childhood passed away.... Maybe that's too melodramatic, but Bernard was one of my all time favorite characters. He will be greatly missed! :cry:

when I found out about this, I cried for half an hour. Maybe more. I... I don't know how to explain it. I feel like a part of my childhood was just swiped right out from under my feet. And I just fell. And fell hard. I died inside when Walker passed, and I died inside tonight.

Rest in peace, Dave. You'll forever be apart of our memories.

Oh, my. I am actually in tears right now. I guess... I guess he's gone. Not just are character, who has been gone for a long time, but... Dave himself. He'll always be in our hearts.

That's really sad, I just can't think of AIO without Bernard. He was one of the funniest characters and always made any episode better. We'll all miss Dave Madden.

*cry's hysterically* GONE! :cry: He was my favorite character EVER! He always brought that dry, sarcastic humor! But at the same time was very kind and caring. We're gonna miss you Dave! *waves*
