Not sure what to say?

This makes me terribly sad. I worked closely with Bert when we were department chairs. He was wise, witty, and humane. I loved Bert. He was one of the finest men I'll ever know.

It was a delight to work with Bert Wilson when he directed the Redd Center. And when he continued on the Redd Center board I loved seeing him once a year. He was such a kind man who loved to tell stories. I will miss him.

Bert was a mentor to me. What he taught me has shaped my thinking and my decision making in many ways over the years. He will be greatly missed. He was truly kind and interested in the success of others.

A great teacher, and a humane human.

He was a scholar who was so involved with the ordinary person; I remember his seminar at USU on the Foxfire projects very well. We've lost someone very valuable, but his works and words will live on.
