My friend  my buddy, my work brother. Yes just like family we disagree sometimes, we share stories, I taught him how to cook,I would bring him breakfast sandwiches,   breakfast tacos and sometimes meals so he would not have to cook.He train me and others on EDI he was very smart and intelligent well organized. I use to ask him why is he keeping all those papers files when we didn't have to, he told me just incase he needed backups I said ok B is what me and Ms. Marie use to call him.I have work with him over 16 years and for the better part we sit next to each other. Bernard was quite and to himself but I could all ways get him to open up. I can go on and on because we discuss out pets and we discuss my kids  He would always let me know how proud of my daughter he was. I'm so glad I got to see him two times before he depart. I will miss you brother. Get your rest because I watch you suffer toward the end🙏

To the Family, Gizmo, Friends and the Love Ones of Derkowski, My heart and prayers go out to you all.  It is still unbelievable that he is no longer with us physically, but please take comfort in knowing that he is no longer suffering and he is now resting in Peace.

I have worked with Derkowski over 20 years, we worked together at UTHSC and at UT MD Anderson.  We use to always share stories, doggy advice and pictures of our Fur babies.  He wasn't much of a picture taker (as you can see by this picture) but now this picture have a whole different meaning and I will always cherish it.  RIP Bernard Derkowski 

Bernard was a great person to work for this pass 16 years.  He was a great person to be around and he had a unique attitude about life.  He will be greatly miss.
