I am so sorry to hear of Bert's passing. He was a friend of my parents and the times that I saw him, I was always pleased to hear his stories and see his smile and hear his laugh. I know he will be remembered fondly by all who have met him and known him. I wish to extend my sincere condolences to his family.
