Bert was one of a kind. Always the life of the party, the best sense of humor and the best smile. He was the kindest soul and the friendliest person I've ever known. If you were lucky enough to know him....you know exactly what I mean! I'm so thankful that Bert, Kathy and the girls moved in next door all those years ago! Can't imagine never knowing Bert, Kathy McCollum, Cannon McEldowney and Channing. I will pray for peace that passes understanding to make it through. We love you, Kathy, Cannon and Channing. Bert, we love you and will miss you.❤
