We were honored and blessed to have known
Mr. Burch. Our deepest sympathies to the entire Family.

When I first entered the world of broadcast advertising I immediately began hearing of a station rep. who could brighten up an office, and lighten up everyone's day with a sweet thought and a smile. Buddy was a one of a kind champion! I'm sure that he will be loved and admired just as much in Heaven. As we all know, Buddy deeply and truly loves his family and friends! God Bless You Buddy_

I will always treasure those years growing up visiting my friend Bridgette at the house on the bayou. We spent many wonderful times in that home and her parents Buddy and Lil always made those times special. Buddy had the greatest sense of humor and laughter was a must. Lil never failed to have the most sweet and genuine smile. My heart breaks for this truly special and beautiful family. Buddy Burch will be missed by so many people...he is truly loved and admired. They continue to be in my...

We am so sorry to learn of Buddy's passing. Earl and I send our thoughts and prayers to Lil and the whole family.
