Remembrances

Bert was associated with BIS from around 2003 to around 2010. He lived in Fontana and drove over to Cathedral City to attend our weekly dances. He attended many conventions. The last time I saw him was, I think, at the Seattle convention in 2018. He was no longer dancing and did not appear to be in good health.
— Dwight Fine

Oh, thank you for sharing. He was always so fun to dance and chat with.
— Louise Richards

I’m so saddened to hear that this delightful man has left us. 😞
— Reed Vernon Waller

I always thought of Bert as the Elton John of square dancing.

Very, very sad. And from when I met him @ Royalty Squares, "Turn around Bert". And danced with him @ Empire, GSS, TTS, SS, BiS and too many conventions, a bright multi-colored light has gone out. Honor him by letting your loudest freak flag fly!
— Harvey Soldan

Another bright light has left. Always enjoyed sitting and listening to all the wonderful stories he had to tell.

I will miss you Bert! RIP
