In 2001, Bert accepted a position with the Lake Havasu School District, retiring in 2004. Bert was active in community planning and was a member of the Lake Havasu Board of Adjustment and the Development Advisory Board at the time of his death.
Bert leaves behind his loving wife of 47 years, Marlys; daughters, Melynn Reid, Jannine Bielesch and Rebecca Champion and their husbands; and 12 grandchildren.
