His children and grandchildren share his passion for skiing and love of the outdoors. He enjoyed fishing and hunting with the Wart Lake gang (especially nephews Bobby and Ronnie Belsito).
Christmas was a special time for Papa. He was Santa’s helper, looking forward to making the holidays magical for so many children.
To our friends and family that made countless visits, phone calls, provided rides, we could not have survived without your support. Thank you.
During the last 10 years, we have met numerous caring healthcare professionals. We are so thankful for the angels among us, especially the caregivers at the F.J. Davey Home where Bert resided for the past two years.
