At the age of thirteen Bert contracted an illness that left him partially blind and with other life-long health issues.

Eventually forced to a wheel-chair, Bert remained an unstoppable force. His disposition and outlook were always cheerful; he loved God devoutly; and he lived life vigorously, resolutely, and tenaciously. At age fifteen he started managing his own investment portfolio and took a job delivering newspapers.

In 1996 he graduated from the University of Arizona with a degree in Finance. During his undergraduate career, he did summer internships at White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico; the Muscular Dystrophy Association in Tucson, Arizona; Edwards Airforce Base in California; and the David Taylor Research Center in Bethesda, Maryland. In 1997 he proudly accepted a position serving his country with the CIA and moved to McLean, Virginia where he had a successful career for 13 years until health issues forced him to retire.

Bert loved God, his country, his family, his friends, his job, investing, and fly-fishing, even to the point of making his own flies. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at Our Lady of Good Counsel Catholic Church, 8601 Wolftrap Rd. , Vienna, VA on Monday, September 10 at 10 AM.

Interment Fairfax Memorial Park. Memorial contributions may be made to the Make-A-Wish America, Gift Processing, 1702 E. Highland Ave. , Suite 400, Phoenix, AZ 85016.
