To Helen and Family – We were saddened to read of your loss and extend our sincerest condolences to all of you. I met Bert at Yarrows while on contract in 1981 and during the next few years we established a good relationship.Years later, whilst on a cruise, we met on board and had the opportunity to renew some of the old memories over lunchtime. Regrettably, we will be away from the area and so will not be able to attend the celebration of life but we will be there in “spirits” and thinking of you. Liz and Rusty MacKay
