"...He commanded so much respect and brought a lot of comic relief which came so naturally that he became hard to forget."
This, is what Lydia Forson said about the late Bishop Bernard Nyarko. The veteran actor is reported to have died at the Ridge Hospital in Accra, yesterday, May 2, 2020, after a short illness.
Against this backdrop, Ghanaians have been pouring in their tributes on social media to celebrate him.
Joining her colleagues in the film industry to pay their tribute, Miss Lydia Forson, who explained that she only worked once with the late actor, confessed that he (Bernard Nyarko) commanded so much respect.
"I’ve only ever worked with him once and that was on Side Chic Gang before then I’d never met him. But he commanded so much respect and brought a lot of comic relief which came so naturally that he became hard to forget. In fact, every time I’d see him I remember the first thing I ever heard him say “this coat too is not nice, what joooon coat is this” (it sounded better coming from him)," she wrote on her Instagram page May 2, 2020.
Miss Forson continued that, though he's no more, his memories will continue to live with Ghanaians, just because of the good work he did.
"Whenever one of us goes, it doesn’t matter if you knew or worked with them; there’s just a feeling like you’ve lost family regardless. RIP Benard Nyarko- you will live on through your work."
