Read MoreI just came across Burdett's page by chance but knew him fora while when we were about 12. His aunt lived in Sag Harbor on eastern Long Island where I grew up. For a couple of years, Burdett visited her and he and I became buddies. We especially liked exploring his Aunt's big house that had once been a horse barn. He was a good guy.

Michel and family, I am so sorry to hear of Bird's passing. He was such a kind man. While in Junior High at CJHS, he would stop in sometimes to see his wife and always remembered her students names and was always so kind. The world has lost an incredible human being. May he rest in paradise. Much love to you Coach Loomis. May you and Dakota keep the memories close and strong. XOXO
