Burt, You were my first Pepsi mentor. You taught me to be proud of Pepsi, how to sell and how to treat everyone with respect. The thing I'll remember most is the gigantic smile that you had for everyone in your midst. My prayers to your family.

Burt, You were my earliest mentor at Pepsi. You taught me to be proud of Pepsi, how to sell and treat everyone with kindness. I never quite learned how to smile as big you did, but I'll keep trying. My prayers to your family.
