John David Burdick Jr.

John was a great person to be around and to work with. I had the pleasure of working with him on many occasions. He knew his job very well and lived what he did. I give my deepest sympathy and prayers to his family he loved and cherished...John you will be missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing you...

Growing up down the street from the Burdick's I have fond memories of their family. I spent hours with Lenore learning how to bake, knit and crochet. I remember baking cookies and John playing the piano, singing and teasing his mom. He was always trying to get me to dig for night crawlers in the compost ditch in the backyard, yuck, and showing me how to work on a car. He introduced me to Leon Russell, who I still love today.

Lovely to meet this warm gentle but tough man glad Lynette indorduced us
