He was a member of the Union Baptist Church in Stamford up until 2013 when he decided to join his wife and become a member of the Greater Faith Baptist Church in Stamford. Loved by so many, Bernie was a humble man who touched the heart of everyone he came in contact with and will always be remembered as the nicest person in the world. He will especially be missed by one half of the dynamic duo, Dot and Bernie, who were inseparable. Bernie lived a worry free life and even in his last days he said The Lord has done so much for me, I am a blessed man. He was an awesome husband, father, grandfather, brother and son. He never complained and was always there to help anyone who needed it. Bernie leaves to cherish his memory his wife, Dorothy M. Titus (Blackmon); his children, Jeanne S. Lewis (Anthony), Bernie Seawright, Chappell Titus, Wanda Lymon-Roach (Marvin), Jeffrey Blackmon, Tony Blackmon, Marvin Owens (Starnetta), Dewayne Owens and Angel Blackmon; his loving siblings, Margaret Jones (Clarence), Annette Robinson (Darvin), Eugene Titus (Betty Jean), Lillie M. Harkness (James), Donnella Dent (Pete), Jeanette Brockington (Curtis), Marsha Collins (Leonard), and Vernon Titus; 18 Grandchildren, a host of great-grand children, nieces, nephews, cousins and his beautiful dog, Hucky. Bernie was pre-deceased by his mother, Janie Titus and father, Bernie O. Titus, Sr.; one brother, Arthur Cuttino; one son, Curtis N. Lymon; sister, Annie Thompson and sister-in-law, Betty Jean Titus. Although it saddens our heart that he is gone, we know that he is with the Lord and it was well with his soul.
