Earlier this week we recieved the news of the passing of our dear friend Berto. It’s incredible hard to wrap our head around this and when it’s this close to home and so sudden and unexpected, even more so. Berto was a beloved member of the Grand Artique family, he helped us build and strike numerous LIB’s and other events over the years.
He was the kind of guy everyone wanted on their team, sometimes we would begrudgingly have to share him with other builds, and other times we had him all to ourselves. He was a solid team member, a hard worker, kind, thoughtful, and a friend to all who had the pleasure to work and play with him.
Our community, and the world, has lost a great one. Our hearts go out to his family and dear friends. Rest in peace, Berto, you will be deeply missed by so many. ❤️
