Bert was a great man and he will be truly missed and will always be remembered. Even though I had not seen him in many years I have a lot of very fond memories of all of us hanging out together in our 20's. Losing someone we love is not easy but knowing that we have been able to be a part of Bert's life we can realize that we are blessed to have known him. When we lose a loved one on earth we gain an angel in heaven that watches over us. Olga may you take comfort in knowing that you have an angel to watch over you now. After the tears have dried and the goodbyes have been said, all we have to hold onto are all the happy memories that we shared with Bert and keep them alive in our hearts and in our minds and he will continue to live on through us. His kind face remains forever in our image. May the love of family and the support from friends help you through the journey ahead. My sincere condolences to you and his family. - Posted by: Irene Curé (freind) on: Nov 10, 2014
