My family and I fondly remember Bert. His love and kindness for all his family, going back to the days of the annual Seders hosted by Myra and Bert in Holyoke were wonderful events going back to the years when we recently moved back to Albany from South America. Our sincere condolences at this sad time. He was a sterling example of the strength, love and wisdom of the Shayevitz family.
