We are so sorry to hear about Bert. What a guy! His sense of humor was like no one else - a true family man! He loved his work, his wife, his kids, his grandkids, and Boylston!
When he and Eric built our porch, I looked forward to seeing him and sharing jokes.
Every time we have guests who enjoy our beautiful porch, we tell them who built it!!
We are truly sorry for your loss.
