Helene – We were saddened to hear of the loss of your dear husband. From when I knew Bert during his tenure with the Government in Saskatchewan, to our meetings in Medicine Hat, I treasured our conversations. I knew him to be worldly in thought and politically wise. He was always genuinely interested in progress and when he spoke to me I sensed his words were carefully thought out and sincere. Hence he left a lasting impression. St. Pats lost a good “alter boy” Helene – but I am sure his new church is wonderful. All our very best, Gerry and Cathy Labas

Dear Helene and family, Methanex Corporation and its Medicine Hat plant family extend its deepest sympathies to you and your family. Bert was a very knowledgeable and personable member of our Community Advisory Panel. One of his fellow Panel members contacted us upon hearing of Bert's passing to say Bert contributed greatly to the success of the group. We are so grateful that volunteering became Bert's "new venture" after his retirement in Medicine Hat. Please accept our condolences. A donation will be made to the Canadian Mental Health Association in Bert's honour.
