My dear friend Robert Pace passed away early Saturday morning from complications from undiagnosed diabetes. He was full of life up until the end, when in less than 24 hours, he went from laughing and dancing with his daughter, to fighting for his life in the ICU.

This has taken the family by complete surprise and left them heartbroken. Since Bert (as his friends called him) was the sole provider for his family, who are already dealing with so much, I've set up this fund to help with their immediate needs and expenses.

Please consider donating, and if you are unable to help financially, please share this with others. Bert was the kind of person to give the shirt off his back to help someone else, and I know he would have done anything he could to help another family in the same circumstances.
