We will miss Uncle Bert. His kindness extended well beyond the trips to Claim Jumpers or any gifts he may have given. His passion for travel and the finer things in life gave us insight as to who our Uncle really was. However I believe the love he showed for his cats says more about him than anything else I could put into words. We look forward to seeing our dear Uncle again, hearing more of his stories as we all enjoy "eating desert before the main course", as he would have us do.

In Memory of Uncle Bert-
