We are sorry to hear about your loss. We are always sad, when a good man’s day comes to an end. Just remember all those great years we spent with your dad at the Pike……booooo Mets. Hang in there and you are in the Bunn family’s prayers. .
My deepest sympathy to my wonderful Sister-In-Law, Betty, her children, grandchildren, and great grand children. It was a great honor to remember Bert at the Veteran’s Service on Memorial Day at our Bradenton Momument.
If you want a change in scenery, the door is always open here in Florida.
Love,
Jeanne
Bert will always be remembered as a kind and gentle man who loved a good cookie! I am personally eternally grateful to him for so graciously sharing his lovely youngest daughter, Barbara, with me all these years.
I send my heartfelt condolences to all in his extended Hangen family. We miss you, Bert!
Love,

Bert was one of a kind and we wouldn’t have had it any other way. His friendship and kindness at a very difficult time were, to me, the true measure of the man. He will be missed. My thoughts, prayers and love are with all of you.
Always,
Dennise
