My condolences to Betty and the whole family. Burt was a true friend that shared many good times with my parents. It was so thoughtful of you to stop by for a weekly visit over butter pecan ice cream with mom after Dad's passing. Burt's humor, fun and support for friends and family will be truly missed.
