Rich’s entire being was centered around his family. He was extremely proud to be a Bertram and instilled the many values and ideals that were passed down to him through his father, uncles and grandparents. He never missed a game of his children’s and over the years and traveled thousands of miles to ensure that he was in the stands for his grandchildren’s athletic contests, concerts, recitals and major events.
