Great grandchildren Michael Weisinger, Glynda and Jason McGuire Jr.
The door to Bert's heart and home was always open for all to come inside. He loved people, never met a stranger, and was always willing to help those in need. He "adopted" many sons and daughters. Psalms 127:5a. These are the arrows in his quiver: Darryl and Shannon Lackey, daughters Lauren, Laila and Lacey, son, Darryl W.
