He graduated from F.A. Day Middle School, Newton North High School and Boston College, acting in plays, working on school newspapers, participating in sports and engaging in all of the typical nights of mischief.

Bryan found every day an opportunity to learn, to experience, to connect. He revered great works of art, from Homer to Shakespeare to the Hold Steady to Vin Diesel. He was as wise as a man who read more in a day than most do in a month, and he was never shy.

Bryan was an artist. A talented actor, he was never so alive as when he was on stage. He thrilled audiences at Newton North, Boston College and in professional productions, and he trained at the Moscow Art Theater School and at the American Repertory Theater Institute at Harvard University.

Bryan was a great optimist whose spirit rarely flagged. While undergoing cancer treatment, his rare disappointments were mostly tied to his beloved Red Sox and Tottenham Hotspur. Bryan and the Patriots saw eye to eye in success.

Bryan loved his friends and family deeply. He is survived by his parents, Jeff Bernfeld and Mary-Kathleen O’Connell; his brother Jeremy and soon-to-be sister-in-law Kelsey Borner; as well as his loving girlfriend, Jessie O’Hearn.

He is the grandson of Wilson and Dorothy O’Connell, Doris Bernfeld and the late Hyman Bernfeld.

Bryan is also survived by a huge circle of friends and loving family including aunts and uncles Randye Bernfeld, Mikey and Nancy O’Connell, and Kerry O’Connell-Vale and Hubert Vale, and his four first cousins, Meghan O’Connell, Caitlin O’Connell, Daniel Hilleman and Maddy O’Connell-Vale. He had a soft spot for an Italian Spinone named Harper, whom he would swear to you is well-behaved.

Unlike most of us, Bryan actually lived his motto. In typical Bryan fashion he tattooed it to himself. In the ancient Greek. Attributed to Homer, this is what Bryan lived: “Ever To Excel.”

Services at Temple Beth Elohim, 10 Bethel Rd., Wellesley, MA, Tuesday, August 18, 2015 at 1:00 pm. Memorial observance will be held at the Bernfeld home, Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday, 7-9 pm.

Priscilla was an incredible athlete and passionate sailor. She also excelled at tennis and skiing, but it was golf that was her claim to fame. At ten years old, she took her first swing and was playing golf with women three times her age as a teenager. In April, 1962 when Priscilla was 17, the Boston Globe came to Priscilla’s home to photograph and interview her about being invited as one of the first girls to join the boy’s golf team at Newton South High School. The article stated that Priscilla was the best athlete in the school, but more importantly, the best golfer on the team. This was big news in those days hearing that a young woman was asked to play on a boy’s golf team.

Priscilla was a trailblazer setting forth new standards for girl’s sports in high school. Coaches who thought she had the talent to play golf professionally pursued Priscilla, but she wanted to stay close to her family attend college to become a teacher. She taught school for 35 years in Massachusetts and Connecticut.
