loved his work at the jail and he was able to make such a profound impact on so
many people through his patience and timely advice on life.
His impact was also made on the baseball
and softball diamonds. He coached many
young athletes in the Colome Community in both sports and was extremely proud
of the 1989 Clearfield Teener Team that he coached to a State Runner-Up
Finish. He spoke often about all of his
former players and how important they were to him and the pride he had in their
life accomplishments.
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.
