My BROTHER. I have no words. Connected by accidents 1 vertebra apart. We have learned together, fought the fight together, spoken together and have cried together. I was so proud being a person who helped carry you on stage at NY Harvest Fest. lol (and my honor to try and run you over with a golf cart.) You will be a treasure in my heart all my days brother.

Your work is done. Rest/. We will meet again. NFA Brother. <3

Dear Family of Burton,

We wish to be with you today but are unable to. We will be praying for you and send....

Love,

Bob and Sue Adams

Wayne just reminded me that when our son Dan was a teenager, Burton gave him a computer. This act of kindness and thoughtfulness changed Dan's life and gave him direction. Burton's knowledge and guidance sparked an interest in Dan for technical things that has never left him. Wayne and I sit here in front of this news with sadness for you all as you go on without your brother, your father and your friend.

I remember when I was in college in New York, Burton invited me to his family home for Thanksgiving and it was really good connecting with him and my cousins. I'll always appreciate his hospitality and care of family. He will be missed.
