Love and miss u Uncle Burt. May u no longer be in pain. Say hi to grandma cooper for me! ????
Where do I even begin? Burt and I were co-workers at The Press of Ohio in the mid-90s and we remained friends to this day. He watched my daughter grow from a baby to a woman and met my grandkids. I live in Las Vegas now but he and I made it a point to visit together every time I visited Ohio because he was my friend to the end. I love you, Burt and I will miss you and our chats. Thank you for being a true friend all these years.
Heaven has gained another angel. Love always, please give Aunt Brenda a big hug for me!
