Sounds like a wonderful human being, nice to hear stories like this as we are bombarded with negativity on a daily basis. RIP old lad.

I've got a step dad like that, 93 and as annoying as fuck. Go Bert.

Great post Fuz. Respect to Bert

Sounds like he was a top bloke. Many would have fallen apart going through what he did. We've gone soft.
RIP Mr Bert.

When he was High Rep in Bosnia his team had a tip off about an incoming car bomb. Paddy's HQ was next to a petrol station, but he told his team to stay calm: "Don't worry. I tried to blow up a petrol station once - it didn't work." :cool:

I'm still not sure which one it was.

[quote=fuzzy dunlop]Our lasses granddad Bert. Was at his funeral today. Think I've mentioned him on here before but I really liked him. He was born in 1928 in Moss Side. His mam died when he was 12 when the Germans bombed their house. Started work at 14 as an apprentice engineer for £36 a year. His dad died when he was 16. His dad had had health problems all of Bert's life from the first world war. Bert then went to live with his sister but she died when he was 18. He went on to fall in love and have 3 kids, loads of grandchildren and great grandchildren and very much loved by all his family. Life long City fan, I used to enjoy talking to him about all sorts but when we got on to football he'd get his i-Pad out to check the latest news and results. Aged 90! He had two rashers of bacon and two eggs for breakfast every day for decades. Very funny and a superb story teller. Something struck me when one of his grandsons was talking about him today. He's in his late 30's and just got married this year. He said that his granddad had taught him how to be a man, then he welled up a bit. Bert was old school and a great role model. Nice to know there are probably people knocking about like that everywhere. Anyway, he got told he had cancer this summer and refused treatment as he didn't fancy chemo etc at his age. Here's to people like him! RIP Bert.[/quote]

Just read this. Better people, great generation.

A mate has been a store manager for best part of 30 years, been telling him for years to get out. Fuck knows what Hilco were thinking in 2013.
