My deepest heart felt sympathy to the family of Bert.
I have been blessed to have known Bert for but a short time and yet with his friendly nature, contagious smile, and never ending jokes I can say I got to know the very best of a man who brought joy to my heart when ever he came through the door. I will miss you Bert....I will miss serving you your favorite foods....I will miss your positive nature...I will miss your kindness and your hugs...I will miss you deeply. May your new journey be filled with everything you loved here on earth and more.
Again, my condolences to Bert's family.

I am sorry for the loss of your father. I met Bert in mid 80s and never forgot his jokes or his passion of golf! More importantly, he loved his family so much.
Bert, your golf score is perfect now! May you all be blessed as he will be with you forever.

My sincere condolences to you all. Having lost my mother earlier this year I know the feeling of the lose of a loved one. Bert will be greatly missed at the "coffee clutch" at the Ponds. I enjoyed playing with Bert over the years, his jokes, and his smile.

God be with you and yours.
