    Bismarck was a big Brother
    We mutually respected each other.
    He would advise me and shared pearls of wisdom during my training at EVMSi in Norfolk Va
    I met him and his. Devoted Wife, my fellow country Woman Marie Pierre Myrick at a presentation at Old Dominion University where he was also a Professor.
    I also caught up with them at their annual Thanksgiving giveaway in Portsmouth, Va
    I hope God has mercy on his soul and pays him all the good deeds done for Country and his fellow Human Being s

    Bismarck Myrick was a valued friend and colleague for almost 30 years in the State Department. We both served in the Bureau of African Affairs, and he was US Ambassador to Lesotho when I was US Ambassador to Botswana. After retiring, he joined me as a Senior Fellow at the Joint Forces Staff College in Norfolk. His family has my deepest sympathy and condolences. David Passage, US Ambassador/Ret

    My deepest condolences to Bismarck’s family. He was a mentor and role model to scores of Foreign Service Officers. He will be missed and we will try to continue his legacy of “paying it forward” and quietly helping the less fortunate in our global community

    Marie-Pierre and cousins:
    Our family shining star lights have burned out but while on this earth his lights shined so bright. All of his life he demonstrated character which made him a success at everything he did. Not only did he make us proud but we all admired him and tried to do things that would make him proud of us. We shall continue in our efforts until our lights burn out.

    WE SHALL MISS HIM
