Bertie contributed significantly to his community and will be remembered historically. I miss him.

So long Uncle Bertie...

To Ms Britto and the Cruz family, please accept my deepest sympathy. Mr. Cruz was a great man and will be remembered. God bless. Former Councilor Viola Pina

To the Cruz family, my deepest sympathy in your loss of a great hard working man.
the last time I had seen Bertie was at mom's (thelma e.franklin- half sister) funeral, I was glad that Bertie had made it to her service knowing he was ill at the time.
sad to see a lot of the older heads leave.
Even though bertis half sister Thelma kept to her self, she always loved her brother Bertie.
Me ..I'm one of thelma's boy's and cousin.

My heart goes out to you at this time and in the days ahead. You are in my prayers.

To The Cruz Family and Dorothy,
We are so sorry for your loss. Bertie was so well liked by everyone he touched. He will always remain in our hearts. You will all be in our thoughts and prayers.

My family and I extend condolences to Bertie's family - especially John B. Cruz III and his family; the Cruz Companies and their Staff.

Bertie will be sorely missed. His work ethic was unparalleled! I am eternally greatful for the love of family he exhibited and for the extension of that love to me.

May he rest in peace.

Bertie was a gentlemen and a wonderful dancer. I am thankful to have known him and to have danced with him. What a wonderful life to celebrate.

With love and understanding to all of the family. I have always admired how Uncle Bertie got down and worked beside all of his men - hammering and creating new structures.

I leave the following words for Uncle Bertie's family and friends:

"Death is not the ending, it is turning out the lamp because the dawn has come."

I know he will be watching over all of us.

Love, Edna (Samia)
