Bert Betts Obituary

Our beloved husband, father, brother, uncle and friend died on July 30 at his home in Carmichael. Bert shared a wonderful life with his wife Cathy and his most loved daughter, Casea Zoe. He felt so lucky to have a large, caring family and so many life long friends. Bert graduated from Sacramento State University in 1974. He went on to become a partner in the CPA firm of Glentzer and Dunnigan. His first love was music and he was a talented musician playing drums in many local Sacramento bands. Bert was happiest being in nature. He loved camping and fishing at the ocean and the mountains with family and friends. Bert's kindness, sense of humor and his joy for life will be so missed by all who knew him. Donations in memory of Bert can be made to: Sacramento SPCA, 6201 Florin Perkins Rd, Sacramento 95829 or Effie Yeaw Nature Center, 2850 San Lorenzo Way, Carmichael 95608. There will be a Celebration of Life for Bert in October.

As a boy, Bert Betts was my hero. I was a boy in L.A. and he was eunning for re-election in 1962. I met him at the old CDC headquarters on Hollywood Blvd. He was such a great guy!!! I always will remember Bert Betts.

Bert and the band he was in, The Prophets, were the band that I admired the most. A nice group of guys too. Bert was a crack up. I remember one time, he "stole" his father's Cadillac and Terry Taylor, Sterling Bunnell, myself went to Stinson's Beach for the day. Bert was in a band I was in in the mid 60s managed by Dick Leventon Productions.

The good do die young! Bless you Bert.
