RIP, Bert! We will always fondly remember those Saturdays cooking burgers and enjoying the company while young newly weds with limited income. Also, the memorable weekend trips to Union and Spartanburg to attend Clemson/GT games. You will always be part of our lives and memories! Sincerely, Brooks and Nonie
