I learned today of Burt's passing, and I am so sorry for your loss. I was lucky enough to live across the street from Burt and Betty for almost ten years. I will never forget how much fun he was and his wonderful sense of humor.
God bless

Many fond memories of Burt & Betty Wilson when we were the "new" house on the block.
I worked at Hawkeye Tours, met Burt. Built a house accross the street and asked Burt why he was walking down our street. Thats how we found out we were neighbors.
With Betty's flowers & great sense of humor and Burts expertise on coupon clipping they were tops!
We couldnt have had better neighbors!
