Bert and I shared the same profession and worked together for a while. Bert, I really hope that our beloved Gamecocks do what we have had high hopes that they would do, and that is to win the SEC for you.
God bless you and I will surly miss you buddy.

I am Bert's old friend & room mate in charleston and now reside in Savannah with wife Lisa & daughter Megan. We all loved Bert & was happy about his choice for wife & wonderful stepson whom I know Bert loved very much. My heart goes out to family at this so very too early loss and he will be remembered by friends and loved ones for his kind nature, big heart and a ever present smile. He was truly a good friend & family man. I will miss him
