    I was Bert’s classmate at St. Peter’s Elementary. I remember Bert as a quiet, caring young man with an easy smile and a desire to do well in school. I regret that we didn’t stay in touch. My deepest condolences to Bert’s children and family.

    I recently thought of Bert and all the summer days we played with the other guys from St Peters at Leavenworth Park. Bert who was taller than me stood up for me more than once even though he was a kind and easy going soul. Bless you all and I hope your memories help you through this time.

    Dear family members of Bert. I remember Bert from St Peter’s School from the 1950’s. I haven’t seen him since those days, but, remember him clearly as a great guy and fun to be around. I was very sorry to read about his passing and will remember him and his family in my prayers. May God bless the Dawkins family.
