I have known Bert for over 20 years, meeting him on a family trip from Minnesota to Cabo. We shared many Cabo sunrises over the years, along with my kids, watching those sunrises from the time my kids were babies through teenagers. I always looked forward to my annual trips to Cabo & spending time with him & his amazing wife, Carol. Bert always had a smile on his face, a cigar in the early years, & the best stores to share. Bert & Carol also became special friends with my mom, brother, sister & their families. We were all like one big Cabo family! When I visited Portland for a business trip, they took me out to dinner, teasing each other about who was the worse driver, laughing the entire time! I will miss those times, but I know that your family, especially Carol, your wonderful daughters, Rachel & Kelly, & your grandchildren, will miss you even more. I am heart broken that I will not see you again in this life Bert. Rest in peace my friend, until we see each other again with the Lord! God bless!

Carol, Rachel & Kelly, your loss is so big. I'm sad beyond words. Hoping it will help a little to know how much we care about all of you. Thoughts, prayers & hugs.

We will surely miss our "Cabo Buddy" of almost 20 years. Our condolences to the wonderful family he leaves behind.
