Bert Edwin Cadwalader, 92, passed away February 26, 2022, with his dedicated caregiver and great-granddaughter, Alisha Jo Sellers (his girl) by his side.  Born May 8, 1929, in Grand Island, Nebraska, to Walter Edward and Daisy Ethel Cadwalader, he was the sixth of ten children.  He grew up in Nebraska.   Bert married his sweetheart, Mary Allie Brandt, September 7, 1951.  Together they were blessed with three children.  She preceded him in death April 30, 2015.

He served a 20-year career in the United States Air Force, where he retired in 1967.  He was an accomplished automotive mechanic throughout his lifetime and a devoted crossing guard for many years.  Bert deeply loved his church community.  He was a devoted member of Grace Baptist Church where he helped build the church.

Bert was a big tease, known for his fun-loving good nature.  He was fiercely independent and always willing to help everyone in any way he could.  He was deeply devoted to his wife and his grandchildren.  He was “Grandfather Extraordinaire” to Jamie Jo, Holly, Keith, and Kyle.  He was affectionately called Grandpa by many, including Roberta Ivankovich and her children; Stan (Connie) Payne and their children Jamey, Brian and Misty Payne; dozens of Jamie and Alisha’s friends, and just about anyone who met him.
