Dr. Kenneth F. Burda

Dear Susan and family: I’m so sorry that we lost touch over the years and was about to reach out and then saw that Ken passed. My deepest condolences.

Dear Susan and family:
I was so blessed to have worked with and for Ken during his New Paltz tenure. I was proud to be part of a Student Affairs division that he headed and under his vision and leadership changed the course of New Paltz for the better. Today's SUNY New Paltz is a testimony to all Ken's tireless efforts. I hope he was proud of that .
On a more personal level, I know that as a young and eager professional I was sometimes a thorn in his side, but his support and...

I’ll never forget how meaningful it was to get to meet Uncle Ken & Aunt Sue.
Shelby, Ken’s beloved sister was incredibly proud of her “big” brother and for good reason.
Love, Light & Peace to all of his beautiful family.

I will never forget Mr. Burda. We shared many deep, in-depth conversations in our short time of knowing each other. I am truly grateful for having met him and having the opportunity to have been one of his nurses.
He loved his wife and children and bragged about his grandchildren everytime I saw him. My sincerest sympathy to you all.

Best javelin thrower I ever knew... always had a smile and positive words of encouragement ;-)

Dear Susan, Cullen, Ruarri, Bryna and families you are in my thoughts and prayers. Ken was my supervisor, mentor and valued role model when he served as Vice President for Student Affairs at SUNY New Paltz. Ken was a very distinguished and respected professional. I am so thankful that I had the opportunity to know you, and to learn from and work with him. May he rest in peace.

Dear Susan, I'll always remember the special times in Ellensburg, WS, ,(1967,68) that we spent went with you and Ken. Now Ken is at peace♥

Bryna and family, my thoughts and prayers for all.
