Not sure what to say?

Bert was an original, not to be copied. At Rotary meetings early every friday morning in Gig Harbor it was inevitable that Berts cell phone would go off and just like superman bert would fly up the Shoelines (now Anthony's) stairs and disappear. He trully cared for his community and were the better for having him been part of it. May you always have strong winds to your back. Thanks for being part of our lives. A felloe Rotarian.

I want to join many of his friends in honoring his memory. Those of us who knew him in high school, recall his wit and intelligence. He was one of those who you just could never forget, albeit over fifty years since we were classmates.

I want to thank Bert for making a huge difference in my life. He recruited me to become a stock broker, a profession I never would have entertained, but one I thoroughly enjoyed for 13 years. That career caused me to go back to college to learn the math it was based on, eventually letting me become a teacher. Thanks, Bert. You were a big positive in my life.
