Sylvia and family:

From the days we both enjoyed the apples at Leo Burnett, to just a week ago,I treasured the fact that I could claim you as a good friend.Talking with you, reliving our days at the agency was always something I enjoyed and will truly miss. When Rita and I finally get to Schoop's with Sylvia, we'll have a seat open for you. So long "Ski", Rita and I will keep you in our prayers. Zee!

I am deeply saddened to hear of Bert's passing. I had the honor of working with Bert at Leo Burnett and he made every day a pleasure. The department was never the same after his retirement. My condolences to his family.

Sylvia and family,



My prayers are with you. I don't know if you remember me - I worked with Bert at Leo Burnett. When I first came into the Print Service Department I was Bert's assistant manager - I knew nothing about print production. Bert taught me most of what I know about this business. I always respected and admired Bert - he was a truly Good Person!



Fond regards,

Karen
