My heartfelt condolences to the family of Mr. Worrell. We thank you for sharing your gift with the planet. I am just hearing of your passing my brother and I know for certain that God is pleased with what you did with the gifts that He bestowed upon you; for that was your gift back to Him. Rest In Heavenly Peace

My condolences to the entire Worrell family and friends as well. I just found out about Mr. Worrell's passing today (8/23/16); I guess I've been hiding under a rock because not one word was mentioned about his death in the major media TV networks in NJ. It's a shame too because we all (my boys) knew that he was the glue that kept P-Funk together all those years. I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Worrell in a dinner lounge on Broadway in NYC I believe in the early or mid 1990's; and when I saw a man who looked like him playing classical music with a tuxedo on, I had to ask him was he the one and only Bernie Worrell? He replied that he was, and I asked him why was he playing classical music in a dinner lounge and he replied something like this: "Because I need money like everyone else". I never forgot how this legend sounded playing Bach and right then and there I knew that this man was a genius. May I and I have mercy on his soul.

There really are no words for a soul like Bernie. Judy there are I am sure so many people sending you messages but I have an article in a fanzine I would love to send to you. I've kept it for years and years. I went the fundraiser in Seattle and was not able to give to you. Please gmail me since I am kind of behind on this social media stuff. Thank-you

Bernie you gave so much joy. My sisters and I used to follow Parlement Funkadelic all around the tri-state area. I can't imagine my life without P Funk. It would not have been as much fun. My sincere condolences to family. You were greatly loved. RIP.
