Uncle Bert was a fun, talented & caring uncle who always made me feel special from the time I was a child. He was the life of most family gatherings! I always loved his talent for making music & bringing the family together. He was very artistic; sharing his gifts of talent with all. He would always tell my brother & I stories especially about our mother, Lois & grandmother, Glendora. What great memories! One of the last special memories of him was watching him play his harmonica @ Uncle Bobby’s graveside service. He was one of a kind & will be greatly missed! Niece, Tami
