Bert Wories

I am truly sorry to just hear of the loss of Bert to the rest of the world. If only everyone could have met and listened to this remarkable person. I am going to miss his gentle way of letting you know that he is happy to see you and to be a part of his life. He was a genuine delight and one person that I will always remember. Not just his stories but his true demeanor of loving life to the fullest. His entire family was blessed to have him all these years. I had but a few but I will always cherish the few years of knowing him. He was a getleman first and foremost in my thoughts. I will miss not just the stories but the smile of life he always gave me. He is a hero in so many ways of how a person should be to everyone all of the time. The world is a sadder place without him. So sorry for your loss but remember he was loved by everyone that met him.

I first met Bert when i was 17. His booming voice i knew only before on the phone. My introduction with Heathers family began with Bert meeting me at the door, a very firm hand shake(with a Stern Once-over glance) fallowed with his incredible easing smile. Bert, after all was said and done,had taken me into his home and made me feel fully apart of his family. Thank you Bert

I'M FREE



Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free.

I'm following the path God laid for me.

I took His hand when I heard him call;

I turned my back and left it all.

I could not stay another day,

To laugh, to love, to work or play.

Tasks left undone must stay that way;

I found that place at the close of day.

If my parting has left a void,

Then fill it with remembered joy.

A friendship shared a laugh, a kiss;

Ah yes, these things, I too will miss.

Be not burdened with times of sorrow

I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.

My life's been full, I savored much;

Good friends, good times, a loved ones touch.

Perhaps my time seems all to brief;

Don't lengthen it now with undue grief.

Lift up your heart and share with me,

God wanted me now, He set me free.

I never had the opportunity to meet Mr. Wories, but I have been blessed in getting to know his daughter Heather, and his wonderful Grandchildren. To have raised such gracious, loving, respectful, and inspiring people, he must have been a very special man indeed. Heather, you and your family are in my family's thoughts and prayers. We can't understand what you are going through, but we love you and are here for you through this trying time. God Bless You.

Bert you are going to be truely missed. It was so wonderful getting to know you. Whenever I will see a crossword puzzle I will think of you! You were an amazing man and co-worker.

God Bless you and your family during this tough time.

The nicest, kindest, friendliest gentleman I have ever known.

Our dear Bert - The office hasn't been the same without you - you are so greatly missed. Your family has been truly blessed to have you as an inspiration in their lives - we are all so grateful to have shared in your life with them. I will forever think of you and smile when I enjoy a Symphony milk chocolate bar . . . May God bless you and your family . . .

I sat next to Bert as a colleague at work (he was pa and I was ma)and I heard many, many stories. He was truly an inspiration to me and he knew the Bible from front cover to the back cover. I know you are now home Bert and hope to see you again someday. May God Bless all of your family as you will be sadly missed.

I didn't know you well, but I will never forget your kindness! We will all miss you here at work!

Very few can bring the warmth that I found in my father's embrace.

The greatest things he gave me you can not find in any store, they were the things you could never pay for. He gave me hope, Compassion and Love, compleatly unconditional, some things that most can only dream of. He gave me courage far stronger then I ever knew, so when I had to let him go and let him pass to a better place, I some how am managing to cope, by remebering all of his hope and the deep Faith he had.



I know he is safe now, watching over all of us down here, but I have one last thing to say~

Thank you so much Dad, I want you to know how special it is to me to be a part of you, because now, I know it is ok to be me. Because you were the greatest man I ever knew - and I am a part of you!



Every daughter likes to think that her Father is the best, but there is no doubt for me Dad, that you are far above the rest.

Thank you so very much to everyone. My Father was a wonderful man. I love you Dad more than words can say no Dad on earth compares to you, you simply are the best!

God is smiling with you by his side. You touched many, many lives. I will miss our talks and you will be missed by many. God Bless

Karyn,

My dad was such a great guy. I was truly blessed to have him as a dad. Through the years we became so close and he meant the world to me...I miss him so much. I love you daddy!...some day we will meet again. I know my dad touched so MANY lives. He was so kind to everyone he came in contact with. From delivering soup to neighbors and friends or doing his prison ministry...there were so many great things that he did. And who could forget his awesome sense of humor and his ear to ear smile... What a man he was!
