Family, medical community remembers influential Richmond pediatrician who died of COVID-19

Dr. Bernard Behrmann was always known for his sense of humour. Whether it was performing magic tricks or cracking dad jokes, he’d always try to put a smile on someone’s face.

It’s what made him great at his job.

“He really believed in wringing every bit of joy and fun you could out of every day, and I think that kids have that too,” said his wife, Cindy Behrmann.

Behrmann, known by friends, family and colleagues as Jack, was a Richmond-based pediatrician.
