I met Bert on 20m; we made many contacts and got to know his family well. We stayed with them; they stayed with us. A nicer guy it would be very, very difficult to find and he and his family have brightened our lives immeasurably over the years. I still can't believe he has gone but hope that wherever he might be the beer is good!
God Bless you Bert and thanks for many great QSOs and many happy times together. We'll never forget you..
