I will be forever grateful for the love and kindness dad Burningham always showed me. I will miss his humor and the sparkle in his eye. I loved him as my second father. Thank you Ted, Janet

I was saddened to read of your father's passing. He was a very kind and generous man. I have so many fond memories of the times spent in your home, and especially of the time that I was able to go to Arizona and California on vacation with Kaye and her parents. They are memories that I cherish and think of often. Please know that my thoughts are with your family and I will keep you in my prayers.
