• Notes

  Bert was full of life and loved women, when Marie died he tried to get Dolly, a friend, to marry him. She declined but remained a friend until his death, often taking him wherever he wanted to go. He was married four times. He loved to go out and have a good time and always wanted to treat anybody that would take him out for a meal. After he was told that he had cancer he stopped eating. I guess he felt that he had lived a long enough life. He didn't really give up he just picked his time.
