Lambertus Princen

My sympathy to all of the family. I remember him from the 1960s while going to Audubon meetings with my dad Art Grebner and family.

Bert and I were in the Pops Orchestra together for six years. He always had a smile on his face. He was a very sweet man with a kind heart. He brought spunk and life to our rehearsals. And for a while, he was the only violist we had. While I will miss him greatly, I know Bert is in a better place, and I hope to see him there someday.

Bert always seemed to enjoy life, and his image remains indelibly imprinted in the mind of this old Lab rat, recently retired. Our deepest sympathies.

Such a good friend who will be missed by all who knew him. His kindness and generosity will always be remembered.

Sorry to learn of your loss. Jean and I send our sincere sympathy. I have many memories of my working with Bert and his enthusiasm for new crops and vegetable oil technologies.

We lived next door to Princen's many years. While we were all growing up, my bedroom faced what would be the greenhouse side of their home. I believe prior to the greenhouse were the dark nights absolutely lit up like a baseball stadium with a Coleman gas lantern and a huge white sheet. He always had that net ready! I never saw any collection but I bet he caught some mighty scary-lookin insects, moths, what have you, as we were completely surrounded by ravines. Good thing he never showed me....

Celebrating a life well lived. We will cherish the memories forever.
