Bernard Nathanial Patterson

Bernard was a long-time  member, soloist and supporter of Our Own Thing Chorale and brother to Founder Willis C. Patterson. In lieu of flowers Bernard wished that donations be made to some of his favorite community organizations. We are honored to be one of the designees. Bernard is truly missed. https://www.dignitymemorial.com/obituaries/ann-arbor-mi/bernard-patterson-9913013

Bernard,

When the tenors were weak, you were strong. When the music was challenging you kept us in rhythm. When sweetness and worship were needed in song, you provided the reverence. When humor was needed you were pitch perfect. How I miss you my friend.  I hope you always knew how much we loved and admired you. Now that Heavenly Choir is even more perfect.  Jeff Pickell.
