MY CONDOLENCES TO Berts FAMILY. Bert was the first person I met when I was hired at Viking Freight System now FedEx in 1979.

Bert is one of those few good men in this world. Bert was always postive and easy to work and talk too.

Bert bowled frequently with us at the San Jose 500 Club Open Tournaments. He was unfailingly gracious and was a delight to be around. We will miss him greatly. Our love and prayers go out to Felicia and the family at this difficult time.

Sonny, my dear cousin. I remember all those years I spent my summers with you and your family on Fesler Street. Those were my fun years. I miss your two sisters Pastoria and Connie who you are with again. I will miss your smiling face.

Feling, my deepest sympathy to you and your children. Take care of yourself also.

When I went to work for Viking freight in 1987 Birt was the one to pick me up at the air port in San Jose. What a first impression he made on me. He was the one that I could always call on for any help and support. TO THE FAMILY MY BEST TO YOU ALL. Jeff Dooms

Uncle Sonny was the finest man who ever lived who had the kindest heart. His passing left a void that will not be filled. The love he gave was unconditional and never ending. He will be missed.
