We were all so sorry to hear about Bert. We remember them all coming to dinners in South Plainfield back when, visiting them in Emerson, coming to dinners in Dumont, and getting together at the various functions over the years. My Mom, Agnes, appreciated his call on her 86th B'day last July. We have Bert in our photo albums to keep him close in memory. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. Bert's Godson, Edward, & Maura Czarnecki
