My Friend Bert Harris, I was 19 yrs. old when I met Bert. I was learning to drive truck with Don Smith, we were in a resturant out of Bakersfield eating breakfast when this tall rugged looking cowboy trucker sat down with us. My first thought was I would not want to get on his bad side and after all he was an "older man" I think he was 35 yrs. old, lol, and he was the kind of man every young boy wanted to be like. Bert became over the years a friend and fun to work with. I hauled logs on many jobs with him and would like to do it all over again. Bert, you were one of a kind...

It's been many years since I seen or talk to Bert. When we work for Leroy Edwards. I remember some good times working and having a few beers with him. We were younger then and full of ourselves. Bert was a good man.

Bert was a good father-in-law, during my younger years we lived in Alaska. I still remember the fun times we all had. I will miss him as always. It isn't easy losing the ones we love. at least no more suffering ~ Jacki
