Bernard C Lancaster

September 6, 1972 - April 11, 2020

Bernard Cedric Caul Lancaster was born on September 6, 1972 to Jacqueline Arnita Gatling in Philadelphia, PA. Bernard was educated in the Philadelphia Public School system and graduated from Walter B. Saul High School in 1990. As a kid Bernie (or Bubbaduck as he was nicknamed) was always interested in cooking. He would pull up a chair so he could see what Moms was cooking. Then he would experiment without recipes or cookbooks. As time progressed, he developed the ability to make an awesome meal. He was known for and most proud of his Lasagna. He also was keenly interested in exploring other parts of the world. He was quiet and a little shy until you mentioned cooking or travelling. Then he was all in. Bernard's love of travel continued throughout his adulthood. He visited the Bahamas, Virgin Islands, St. Thomas, Mexico, Puerto Rico, San Juan, Las Vegas and went on many cruises. Bernard met and married the love of his life Erline Lancaster on May 25, 2002. They were blessed with two sons – Bryce Cedric Caul Lancaster and Brandon Christopher Caul Lancaster. Bernard was employed with Guy Carpenter in Philadelphia, PA for over 20 years. He was most recently employed with Amazon in Middletown, DE for the last 5 years. Bernard was preceded in death by his mother Jacqueline in 2004. He is survived by his loving wife Erline, his two sons Bryce and Brandon, sisters Leslie Shanette Lancaster and Christine Caul, brother Kevin Caul, sister-in-law’s Alicia McCants (Michael), Irene Hunter (Kevin), LaTonya Wallace and a host of friends. The Lancaster Family would like to thank each and every one of you for the kind words and thoughtful expressions shown to us during this difficult time.
