Sad to hear about Burt. Burt would always have time to tell jokes and give advice when needed. We had many laughs about work or just life in general.
Will have your family in our prayers.

Burt was a one of a kind very special person. I have many great memories of him when we were all kids in Perry. I will always remember his hot hand in basketball and smooth moves on the dance floor. He will be missed here on earth but I am sure he is making one family very happy in heaven. I hope they are all celebrating together. RIP my dear uncle.
