Bert was a fun-loving character who took pleasure in making people laugh. He never met a stranger. He was ornery, funny and could fix anything. He loved working with his hands and always had some project underway. Bert had a strong love of family, the outdoors, his horses and his dogs.
He leaves a wonderful legacy for his family and will be dearly missed by many. Bert was preceded in death by his wife, Nancy, parents, and brothers, Jack & Richard Holland.
