So saddened to hear of Bert's passing. 
Although I haven't seen him for more than 50 years, I remember him well from my high school days. We were both members of the school sailing club and also the Glasgow Brassbounders sailing club, and most outings, whether on Loch Lomond or Hogganfield Loch, I was his crew while he took the helm.  I had a helmsman certificate myself, but much preferred just crewing as Bert was so competent. He along with 3 or 4 others in the school club, used to come by my house and we'd play cards together. We also went swimming at Townhead baths in Glasgow, and  went bowling a few times at Hampden Bowling. Those were fun times, and he left a lasting impression with me.
My condolences to all of his family and friends. 

Very sorry to here of the passing of Bert. I first met Bert many years ago through Gary Regan and the Baton Rouge song writers asso. Had the pleasure of recording many hours of great original music at his home studio. I also enjoyed playing many  live shows with Bert and " The Island fever band"  as a fill in drummer for Animal. Never a dull moment with Bert. All my best to Janet and the family. 

Bert Toms was never without a smile on his face and a joke to tell. He lit up a room and lifted the spirits of everyone he met. 

The love that Bert and Janet shared was the most beautiful relationship between two people I have ever been fortunate enough to witness.  They were definitely soul mates. Both Bert and Janet have a very special place in my heart and I am forever grateful for every kindness, every smile, every special moment spent in the presence of a Toms. 

Have a beautiful voyage to wherever you are headed, Bert. You deserve beautiful sunrises and sunsets, great music, and the warmth of eternal love, old friend.

Dear Janet and all of the family especially Michelle, Sharon, Laura and Loretta ~  I wish I could be with you all to celebrate Bert's life.  I can only imagine the music and memories you will all be sharing at his service.  I'll be with you in spirit!    Walk gently together and heal  and live the life Bert would wish for you.  He was a treasured husband, father, grandfather and friend.  He's flying with the angels, I'm sure of that.  Love and hugs from Colorado. 

Sharon and family, 
I have no words to express how deeply saddened I am for all of you during this time. Please know that I am praying hard for each of y’all now and in the coming days. The memories come flooding back to Shenandoah days, songs and laughter. From all the St. Patrick’s day wigs, crawfish boils and acoustic jam sessions. Bert was always there with the biggest smile on his face. He will always have special place in my heart because he gave me, Sharon and Michelle. They are sisters to me, Forever and always. Bert, the love you shared amongst your friends was like no other. Janet, just know that I am thinking of you. The two of you had a love that was inspiring on many levels!!! Love y’all so, so much!! 

Michelle, my condolences to you in the passing of your Dad. May the moments you shared grant you comfort and peace. My thoughts and prayers go out to you, Scott, and the Schroll/Toms Families as you grieve. God Bless, Vince Giaccone

My dearest friend we had a great time and a really good ride I would like to be greedy and keep you here. Set a beer of  the barstool next to you and tuneup my base for when I finally come join you. You’re like my big brother, my best friend and you meant  a lot to me. So when I finally come join you.

To Janet and family:

Archie  and I are so very sorry for your loss. Archie and Bert were great friends both being from Glasgow, Scotland. We will  always cherish all of the memories we made with y’all, all of the parties and the night you and Bert came to sing karaoke with me and Archie at Lava Cantina. I have the video of Bert and Archie on stage singing I belong to Glasgow. We will miss him terrible. He was a great friend and a wonderful person. We are and always will be here for all of you. RIP our dear friend, Bamboo Bert. We love you

Marie and Archie

My dear Janet, I am so very sorry for this tremendous loss of your dear Bert.  No more watches, but plenty of fond and touching memories with him.  I'm sure you will write a very special photographic tribute to him. You both had something very special and rare.  I love you and my heart aches for you.  I pray that all of the kids, your brothers and family will be there for you just as you were there for Bert.  God bless you all!  Ellen

What can you say about Bertie? A lovely lovely man who loved his life through his devoted wife and family. He loved his music and entertaining everyone
We all loved him here in Scotland. Will be sorely missed.

I will always remember you. You are my favorite  brother-in-law. Rest In Peace 
Love,
Marvin Stout

Sharon and Michelle,
I am so sorry for your loss.  You Dad was always so kind to me.  He gave the nickname "Julie Muth (mouth)", something that always made me smile, and laugh, when he said it.  May he rest in eternal peace.  Julie (Guelfo) Sherrill

The magic Man will live on within all of us. He is too special to be forgotten.   Scott n kaila love him. Even in his saddest visit to Scotland he always had a smile and a magic trick. ❤❤

I knew Bert for over 35 years. Always full of live, love, and laughter. We referred to each other as "brother from another mother". I will always remember you my friend, our music we made, our laughs we shared. Fair winds and following seas my brother! I love you! Rest in peace, and enjoy your new destination.
