I am very sad to hear of Bert's passing. Please accept my most heartfelt condolences on the loss of your father. All who are aware of his tremendous work with herpetoculture must surely appreciate the void his passing has created.

I was fortunate enough to meet him at a Maryland reptile show several years ago, and share this picture with you:

And to your father, I would say, "Bert--job well done! Rest in peace, forever."
