Bernard William Hayman, aged 63, died at his home in Metairie on Monday, June 18, 2018. Bernard is survived by his beloved and devoted wife, Gretchen Treuting Hayman; and his children Christopher, Elizabeth, and Stephen.
Son of Milton Ernest Hayman and Marie Amélie Bowman. Son-in-Law of Louis John Treuting, Jr., and Amelie Ignatius Generes.
Brother of Michael and Marina Hayman, J. Spencer and Amy Hayman, and Marie Claudette Hayman.
Brother-in-law of Stephen and Louise Parks, Jack and Jamie Treuting, Rick and Susan Treuting, Tommy and Janice Treuting, Kiki and Kevin Russ, and J.B. and Boonie Treuting. In his earthly life, he was also surrounded by and compassionate to very many nieces, nephews, other relatives, and friends.
Bernard was a graduate of Jesuit High School in New Orleans, College of the Holy Cross in Worcester, and LSU Medical School. Following his residency at Worcester City Hospital, he returned to New Orleans, and began his career in Emergency Medicine at Meadowcrest Hospital as well as Jo Ellen Smith Hospital. He began practicing at Tulane Medical Center in 1992, where he remained until his retirement due to illness in early 2015.
He was a loyal and loving parishoner of St. Angela Merici Parish in Metairie.
His myriad devotions included music (both recorded and live), running, humor, kayaking, photography, traveling, rocketry, herpetology, football, friends, and family. He was so loving to his family, and he was especially proud of his children.
Mere words will never in any way attain to the profundity of Bernard's love, knowledge, or depth of spirit. He was an astonishing human being.
Relatives and friends are invited to attend the Funeral Liturgy at Lake Lawn Metairie Funeral Home, 5100 Pontchartrain Blvd. in New Orleans, on Thursday, June 21, 2018 at 3:00 PM. Visitation will begin at 12:30 PM.
