Sending loving condolences. Some of my favorite family memories of so long ago, is when uncle Bert would sing the song about the clock maker. He had a beautiful voice. May you all be blessed with love and comfort at this sad time.

Goodbye for now Bert and we will truly miss you so much! He was a great guy and the most hardest working man I know! He was also the Smartest guy you could ever meet and knew every thing about any kind of horse and especially about his Race Horses. He raised some of the best horses you ever knew.
I know the past few years have been tough but he is now at peace ❤️ Love You Bert!
