Dear Kramer and Hary families, I am sorry for the loss of Bert. I haven't seen him for close to 50 years and didn't know him well. I remember him coming over to our neighborhood for visits and we'd play together sometimes. He was always nice when we'd spend time together.
I appreciate is military service to the United States. He is owed a debt of gratitude that can never be repaid, by every person who lives in this country.
May you find comfort in one another, your friends, and in the Almighty.

Gilbert was a great mechanic and I enjoyed working with him at Kenlake Foods, Murray, KY for years, and he was a great neighbor for many years. Will miss you Gilbert.

Bert seemed to always have his great smile to share with everyone, hugs, and funny things to say. I'm so glad he's healed now. He sure will be missed. Love you, Bert - hug mom, David and the rest of our wonderful family that have gone before us.
