I just read that he passed away. Far too young.
He was witty, clever, and a joy to be around.
Here's his blog, last updated September 10th. Some of you may remember him from local blogger bashes. I knew him several years before he got into blogging.
If I were Bert I'd have something apt and humorous to say right now. I don't.

Truly a unique individual. He was real fun back then. Truly a nice guy.Now I wonder if Kaiser did all they could for him considering all of the insurance companies that are denying care to save a buck.
It's been 14 years since I've talked to Bert so today I thought I'd look him up only to discover this horrific news. I'm hoping this isn't the same Bert I knew back then. We met through the party in about 1978, he introduced me to my future husband (who died in 1992) and was always there for me. I'm horrified that I didn't even know he was sick so I could talk to him. It's the Bert whose last address I knew was on Clay Street. Please say this is not him.
