I learned of Bertil's passing only today. I will always remember him as such a kind person. He was always so very insightful; I remember during one of our many conversations back when we were both active in Lake Geneva Rotary together, him saying, "living today is an art." I never forgot those words of wisdom. He will be remembered as a man of warmth, kindness, and determination. May God continue to Bless Bertil and his family forever.

He touched so many lives in such a wonderful way he will never be forgotten. We love him and we miss him. Jim & Marilynn

Please accept my sincerest condolences on the loss of Bertil. Simply put, he was an extraordinary man. I am so privileged to have worked with him over the years. Together we overcame many challenges due to his ingenuity and strong customer focus. He always treated me as a partner but at the same time as a friend. His style is something that I've tried to emulate in my own career. But life is more that just work and I also admire him because he knew the importance of that balance. I fondly remember the many times we took time out to dine and laugh together. He will always be Mr. B to me.
May you find solace in the sharing of these many wonderful memories that celebrate a life well lived. May God bless all of you.
Your friend,
Mark

My heart is sad for the family and indeed this world has lost of a true gentleman. I had the pleasure to meet Mr. Brunk and always delighted to listen to his wonderful stories, be in his presence and share a dance with his strong hand leading the way at his beloved Swedish Crawfish parties! My prayers go out to his beloved wife and his family . I will never forget the honor of knowing Mr. Brunk for his influence and spirit was of a rare gem. God Bless .

The impact of this “Great Man” will truly mark the world in which we live for eternity. A born leader, honest yet direct who bestowed his will of self confidence in everything he did. A mentor for too many to count and a loving man who’s faithful dedication to those he called family was second to none, a true gentlemen.
Thank you “MR B” for sharing your knowledge and your integrity. May God Bless and your entire family.
