After a period of illness, on 23rd September 2020, with his family around him, Bert passed peacefully at home. Dearly loved husband of Dorothy, adored father to son Antonio and daughter-in-law Jessica, and much-loved brother to Franco. Bert will be missed by us all every day. 

The family would like to thank our local GPs and District Nurse Services for supporting us in caring for Bert at home. 

A family funeral will be held at St Mary’s of the Assumption R.C. Church, Bo’ness, at 10.00am on Friday 2nd of October. Unfortunately, due to current restrictions, this will be a private Service. For those wishing to do so, the Service can be observed online via a live stream. This can be accessed by following the link below. 

Please feel free to pay your respects as Bert’s cortege passes on the day of the funeral. The hearse will leave from Grahamsdyke Lane at 9.55am travelling to St Mary’s of the Assumption R.C. Church, Linlithgow Rd, Bo’ness for the service at 10.00 am. After the Service, at approximately 10.30am, the hearse will travel from the church down Linlithgow Road to Bo’ness Cemetery for the interment.
