He will be lovingly remembered by his children, Susan Anderson and Carol-Anne Albertson (William); grandchildren, Alexandria (Adam) and Melanie Anderson; great-grandchildren, Henry and Audrey; brothers, Herb (Laurel) and Ken (Donna); and his cherished friend Dorothy.

After marriage Bert and his family lived in Winnipeg, Calgary, Toronto and Tillsonburg before settling down in Grand Bend, ON where he lived for over 45 years. Bert loved the outdoors, travel and spending time with his family. Bert was admired for his generosity and kindness.
