Our memories of Burt are endless, he was hard on the outside but soft on the inside, he was giving and loving, and his family meant the world to him. He was extremely proud of his children and adored his grandchildren and great grandchildren. He was a dedicated and loving husband, always putting Stella before himself. Burt enjoyed hunting, fishing and cooking; He loved creating delicious meals for everyone. He always had time for a good game of cards. Burt had a passion for music, he had mixed tapes and CDs and endlessly enjoyed sharing his love of music with others. His love of music continued when he moved to Westbury Estates where he entertained both the staff and residents.
