Our condolences are to the family and all those who loved Bert. We knew Bert as a loving and softspoken man. He is one of the true heroes who gave our country its freedom back from the German oppression, when they descended like angels from the sky on 17 September 1944. We will always honor this man.May you rest in peace Bert.Erwin and Elize Janssen,Eerde, The Netherlands
