Not sure what to say?

It was a pleasure working with with Bert, rest in peace!

Great friend. I always enjoyed meeting him. He will be missed.

My condolences to Bert's family. I first met Bert in our teenage years when he and his sister Ruby began to venture into the Northside and they became a part of our group of friends.
I spend the first 40 of Bert's 46 years working at PPG. Yet working in such a large factory we seldom seen each other, except during certain Company dinners, parties or picnics, if or when our Crews crossed paths. Bert was well liked by many.
Robert, Andrew ,Danny, Gilbert, Dolores, Ruby, thank you...

So sorry for your loss , prayers for the family

I worked in the same building with Bert for 16 years. Though not on the same crew, we had many shifts worked together. Bert was great at his job and I always enjoyed working upstream of him. My heartfelt condolences go out to each of his loved ones. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

Always enjoyed working with Bert.

I am so sorry for your loss of a great man. Bert used to come have a beer with me. I will cherish my memories of Bert. I can truly say he cherished his family. Prayers to his family.
