E. Bertram Berkley

Brian and I met Bert and Joan in 2012 . We were being hosted by Harvey and Sue Ellen Fried at the time . My memory of Bert was a caring ,gentle and interesting man , who was always ready to hear about our tales and lives in the UK. My husband always continued correspondence with him and Bert loved all the " funnies" Brian sent to him He was one of life´s rare gentlemen . Denise & Brian Cottam

What an incredible man! Prayers to your family! David Vogt

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Some of the greatest treasures of my life are the notes, calls and conversations, meetings, and events I shared with this incredible man and leader. At the age of 71, I can say he was the most extraordinary mentor of mine (some 40 years my senior). He mentored me not only as an organizational leader but as a father, a spouse, a friend and a grateful servant. His last two mementos to me, a note congratulating me on my retirement and a call thanking me for a BD gift will remain sacred tokens...

I am saddened to hear of the passing of Bert, My sincere Condolences to his family and friends. Bert was a gentleman and an inspiration to all of us that knew and worked with him. Bert reached out to me in the UK a lonely envelope man finding his way in the industry, he invited me to join the Envelope Manufacturing Association and invited me to attend an EMA meeting in Washington DC, I accepted and this which was to be the first of many trips to the USA, he introduced me to a number of people...

To a dear friend who was always kind, generous and caring and who made it a point to keep-in-touch with others. We loved you and will miss you.

Bert was a lovely gentleman! I commend him for living a long full, and rich life. My heart goes out to Jane & Jim, and Bill & Maureen. Your father will be remembered by SO many, for SO much that he did. Most sincerely, Tripp
