A Celebration of Life
Condolences
Condolences to the family.
I had the opportunity to have Bert as my Scoutmaster in 1988 when I earned Eagle Scout in Troop 50 Odessa.
He was a great leader, and was a better person for knowing him.

When I think about Bert I remember how he drove so far for so many years to attend the monthly Blue Knights NYV meetings. I have transferred Bert over to the Blue Knights Heaven I Chapter. May he ride in peace with Heaven I. Gary Hubert-President BKNYV)
Cathy, so sorry to hear of Bert's passing. He was always good for laughs and teasing when he came to the Mechanics Club. It was always fun to wait on you guys. God Bless.

Bert is such a great memory of my childhood. The stories and the friendship that our families shared will live on forever. The Christmas Eve visits. He had the best laugh!
So sorry to hear about your Dad, our thoughts are with you and the family at this time

Uncle Bert was my favorite Uncle but don’t tell anyone. He was such a part of my life when I was young, I spent a lot of time there when my cousin Carol was alive. We were so close. He was a great man and a good Uncle. Would do anything to help you. Loved him even though I didn’t get to see him much in my later years. But praise God will see him again someday. Pray for peace for all who are morning him at this time.
Bert VanZile is one of the best men I have ever met. He comes of a breed of men that are unique. He loved his family and friends. Honest hard working and always there to help anyone. I am blessed to know him and proud to be a friend.
