Alan Goertemiller Pastor says
Bert is well-remembered at Pilgrim Lutheran Church, though I did not know him personally. Bert left in ’95; I came in June, ’97. We remembered Bert in our prayers last Sunday. May all those who mourn and grieve at Bert’s death also have the hope and peace that Bert knew by faith in Jesus Christ!
