I have been a client of Bert for a couple of years and I all I can say is how sweet this man was. He worked so hard on my taxes and was so nice. I was so blessed to know him, and saddened to hear of his passing. Blessings to the family.

So much to say about such a wonderful man. Bert was more than just our family CPA, he was a mentor and a loving family man.

More than any other person, Bert encouraged me and helped me learn the accounting ropes when I first moved to Houston in 1986. He became a mentor to me, and a wonderful, trusted and cherished friend. He was truly one of the GREAT good guys-a kind and dear man, with a dry wit and a gentle soul. I will miss him, more than words can say; I am, indeed, a better person for having known him. God Bless you, Bert. May our LORD who holds all our lives in His loving hands grant peace and consolation to Sharon, his children and grandchildren. For Bert's life touched so many beyond his sphere of family, with kindness and goodness; I will always remember him with love and respect.
