Bernard was brilliant and authentic, a true original. He had a famously puckish sense of humor (At my bachelor party, to mark the end of my single life, Bernie made me lie down in a casket he had constructed and wear a toe tag he created for the occasion.) He brought the same passion with which he competed against me on the tennis court to everything else he did in life. He inspired me. I feel privileged -- I feel blessed -- to have known him.
