Memories and Condolences

Not sure what to say?

Dear Albert and family,

Your brother was one of those teachers you will not forget for all the good reasons - he, like my father, were larger than life characters who made a lasting impact on many. No surprise they liked one another and kidded each other every chance.

Bobby treated his students like the responsible adults they needed to become but with fun when it was deserved.

He is a big part of my and thousands of students' positive middle school memories.

A great Bridgeport legacy who gave back much to the city and its families.

Noreen and Bobby Ber's Family'

This was given to us when my mom passed and thought it was very appropriate.
God saw you getting tired, and a cure not to be.
So he put his arms around you and whispered "Come to Me."
The golden gates stood open, God Knew you needed rest,
His garden must be beautiful for he only takes the best.
It broke our hearts to lose you, but you did not go alone, for part of us went with you the day God called you home.
Peace to all of you
Tom and Carol

Dear Albert, Noreen and Family,
My wife Nita, I and our family are saddened by the news of Bobby’s passing. I regret not having spoken enough with Bobby and you over the years. Yet this does not mean that I haven’t thought of your kindness toward me during the formative years of my teaching career. When times became difficult and I considered my career choice, for some reason I would remember the happier summer days at The University School and, of course, the thought of you and Bobby would somehow make things better. I ask God why He takes the unselfish, cheerful and deeply sincere people from us at such an early age and the answer always remains; because their purpose is complete. Bobby touched many souls over 30 years of teaching and we are all better persons because of his influence.

Bobby was Susan's Madison School graduation partner. We go way back.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.
