He was born on May 1, 1943 in Amherst County, son of the late Howard Scott Tomlin and Mary Eliza Tomlin.
Bernard was a member of Eastbrook Baptist Church and had retired as the manager of Cedar Hills Sandblasting. He loved fishing, hunting and cooking but his passion was his love for his grandbabies.

Those left to cherish Bernard’s memory are his daughter, Roma Tomlin; a son Scott Tomlin and his wife Elizabeth; and his two grandsons Noah and Dakota Tomlin; and dear family friend Ms. Jean Henry.
