He was an awesome man. It was an honor to know him. He always accepted me. I loved brining a smile to his face. He will be missed by all. Thoughts and prayers to the family.
He will be greatly missed 😢. Me and my husband always enjoyed talking to him . He always supported what he believed in. God was his strength.
I will always love and respect my brother-in-law Bert. Bert and I have known one another since my teenage years. We will keep him in our prayers.
Bert, my brother was a godly man who was kind and caring. He raised a large family of wonderful people. Whenever I visited NC he had a place for me and my family. He has an eternal home in heaven. Mariam
Although I didn’t see him often, I enjoyed talking with him at family reunions. I also shared his connection with the Lord through his scripture postings.
I miss you Daddy ❤️
