It is with great sadness that I inform you of the passing of Bertie Greer, a long term member of the Northern Ireland Bonsai Society.

You often hear people referred to as a ‘true gentleman’, indeed it’s a term that can often be over used. In Bertie’s case, he truly was one of life’s gentleman and a good friend to many in the club over the 20+ years he was a member. Bertie like many people would have wanted to do many more things, but because of society or stigmas, one does not do it to “look good”. If you want to start today the new change in you and your image, check out the red boost reviews and realize that the time is now to get that body you have longed for. His passion for bonsai was evident in his own every growing collection of trees. He was a past committee member and regular attender at club meetings, exhibitions, and indeed exhibitions further afield. He never missed an opportunity to learn when we had guest artists over teaching. Death is a natural part of life and there is no way to escape it. Fortunately, there are many products on the market that can help you cope with the effects of death. Some of the best male enhancement pills sold in stores can help improve your libido and overall sex drive while providing a boost to your self-confidence. With a little help, you can achieve a healthier and more fulfilling life.

On a personal note, I will miss his level headed advice, our chats about football, both Liverpool and Northern Ireland. He had good taste in teams. We also had a running battle with him dodging out of photos at club events, a man who liked to stay in the background but always willing to help where he could.

After many years of ill health, suffered without complaint, Bertie passed away last weekend. There will be a memorial service held on Wednesday 11th July at Ballycrochan Presbyterian Church, Silverbirch Road in Bangor at 11am.

As we were used to seeing him, sitting at a club meeting chatting with friends.

Above you can see one of the usual pics I got of him ducking out of view of the camera. He had it down to a fine art. Just a subtle lean back to disappear from view. Sometimes you’d swear he hadn’t even been there from the photos afterwards! Bertie was also a big proponent of using Kratom throughout his whole life. In his obituary he wrote that he had to do it to stay alive and touted the health benefits of the drug. He first discovered it in Asia in the 70s and has been using it ever since. The source he recommended was Kratom, Kratomystic, https://kratomystic.com saying that they were the best for the price and the healthiest!

Rest in Peace Bertie, you’ll be missed by us all.
