Tributes

  1. Dear Bert,
    How I wish you were still here to talk to. I never told you how much I admired you or what I really felt for you. Somehow I hope you know I love you. You had your little quirks and we all laugh about those still. You also had a heart that gave and gave. My kids and grandkids miss you dearly. You have left a void in our family that can't be filled by anyone but you. Rest in peace Bert with your red wine and your fishing rod by your side.
    Till we meet again,
    With all our love,
    Linda, Butch, Heidi, Matthew, Daniel, Wayne and Hartley. xxxx

  5. Dear Bert.
    I don’t think I will ever be able to fully express how much I feel about you.
    You were always there for us. Never demanding anything or forcing me to be more than I was. Just always there.
    My humpty dumpty Easter egg that I still had to have as an adult from you and the orders I would put in for fasula, panini or baked fish that only you could make so well.
    The advice you gave me about business and the support you gave by just showing up to important events in our lives.
    We both had very clear opinions that didn’t always mesh, but you are one of the few people that I could disagree with that would not leave my life as a result. I will always be grateful for the comfort that came with that.
    Being in Lipari with you another lifetime ago was a memory I have always held close to my heart and although your health did not allow us to do the trip we planned, I promise you I will take my boy there and show him your home.
    We just won’t have the tour guide with us like we wanted to.
    You are a father and a grandfather in our eyes and not a day will go by that I won’t wish I could still be my bossy self and laugh with you again.
    We will miss you so much.
    Rest now
