I was very sad to hear of Mr.Rose's passing.I always had the utmost respect for him,that is why I still call him Mister.He treated me very fairly as one of his employees at Burt Rose Ford / Roseland. I had the pleasure of being employed for 14 years and look back as the best years I had as a young man.He took me under his wing many times and explained things to me in a way I could truly understand.I still talk about him and remember those years '66-'80. Sherry / Hal please know I still remember him and respect him.

I know my Dad's (Sid) memories of Bert go back to growing up together in Chicago. It's fun for me to hear about those times. I was glad to get to know Bert as I grew up too. May his memory be a blessing.
