US-based Pretty Lady Vineyards has announced the passing of Bert Boyd, on 12 February 2019, at the age of 67.
An industry veteran, Boyd began his produce career at the age of 16 and most recently headed up sales and marketing at PLV in California.
Boyd worked for the Pretty Lady Vineyards sales team for over 11 years, providing marketing for brands such as Pretty Lady Table Grapes and Harvest Hobgoblin Table Grapes.
“Bert Boyd was kind and gentle,” said Nick Dulcich, president of Pretty Lady Vineyards. “He was also a brilliant, hard-working man who had a sophisticated way with people that few possess. Bert was a great man who will be missed by all.”
“Bert was one of the first people I met in the produce industry over 40 years ago,” stated George Galloway, sales at Pretty Lady Vineyards. “When he joined our team 11 years ago, I had the privilege to work shoulder-to-shoulder with someone who had a work ethic that was second to none. I am so proud to have called him my friend; he will be truly missed.”
