We saw the Gaylords many times in Michigan and they were both so gracious with the audience after the shows.We saw him perform with Ronnies son too...So many wonderful memories .We still talk of them and play all their cds, old vinyls...A class act that brought lots of laughs and beautiful Italian music.Lou And Christian Merlino

I,unfortunately,never had the honor or privilege of meeting this wonderful man. When I was a young boy growing up in an Italian family, the radio was always on.

I just learned of Burt's death several months ago. I am deeply saddened. Burt was a great friend after the many cruises with he and Ron and Don. I cared medically for Burt several years ago in Detroit and for Ron also. We had many great times and memories we shared. I will always remember Ron and Burt and the Gaylord shows from my teen years to the recent time. He and Ronnie were great people and wonderful friends who I will remember forever with great fondness.

Looking for a family member who may be interested in this book compiled by my Grandparents The Nepote's. They were great friends.

Thank you Burt for the many years of great entertainment. My parents loved seeing you here in Michigan and in Vegas.
You're back together singing with Ron. The Lord just completed his choir!

I have
very fond memories of Burt. Many cruises together and he also stayed at my home once when I had him and Ron perform in San Jose for a charity. My many get togethers for lunch whenever I visited Reno. Don an Burt have always been there for me and my family. I will always have those memories. RIP Burt

Your friend always
