So much too say about The Master Maestro. i'm still trying to fathom the reality of living my life as a dedicated P-Funkateer all the way up to actually being a member of Bernie's Woo Warriors. Always humbling just to be in Dr. Worrell's presence. Bernie CHANGED and Reshaped the whole musical landscape forever with his musical and spiritual prowess. It's hard not to be sad for this TREMENDOUS loss. my heart is empty now, however, there is now room and space inside for me to internalize Dr. Worrell's spirit, love and advice to carry on. He always, "It's not up to me, it's up to the HIM" as he would point to the sky. Thank You Dr. Worrell, for your gifts, and just allowing me to be in your presence.
Rest In Power!

Bernie,
Thank you for the groove, for the delightful madness that is P-Funk and for all the dancing I did because you existed.

God Bless you Bernie, I Loved Every second that we spent together. You've allowed me to travel the "Woo niverse" with you. If it wasn't for you, Funk wouldn't be Funky!
I will cherish Every bleep, snarly, whoop bling,plop, pluck,wiggly, funk bass sound that the synthesizer will ever make, and I will remember just how you made them into The Most influencial sound we called Funk.
May You Rest Forever Peaceful.

"Your protégé forever"
