Speaking to the Herald Sun in 2016, Bert said his grandchildren him and Patti immeasurable joy.
“They wouldn’t realise it at the moment, but they have made this one of the happiest times of my life,” the then 78-year-old told the publication.
“There is that old saying, the wonderful thing about being a grandfather, or grandparent, is that you give the kids back. But in the case of Patti and myself, we don’t want to.”
