  • My Dear brother Bert (Sonny) as we knew him. A life well lived. Bert was away from the family for many years working up north. I remember when growing up, I would see Bert about every five years or run into him in Gimli at icelandingadaugurin. Bert was the oldest and I was the youngest. That never stopped him from being my favorite brother when i was young. Love you brother. Be a bright star at night for all of us to see when we think of you.
