Burton Spencer Francis III

I only met you briefly one morning when we passed. But I knew I liked you immediately. So sad to read this. May you enjoy your journey and know that the world has lost an excellent sole....RIP Burton.

Francis Family,
I was shocked and saddened to read of Burt's passing. Have known him threw the shop for many years. Always an interesting conversation on a variety of subjects when he would drop in. Our Prayers and sympathies are with you.
Thomas Martin and Family

I had the pleasure of coaching Burt's kids at Gymfest Gymnastics for several years. Burt was so supportive of each of his kids as well as the program. Burt's big smile and loud cheering was seen and heard throughout New England gyms quite frequently. It was my pleasure to get to know Burt and consider him a friend. My heart felt thoughts and prayers go out to his entire family. He was truly a good man.

We only really met Burt this year but I have never met someone who was so friendly. We will really miss him and his Star Fruit. He was so proud of his new home as he should be I tell everyone it is the best looking house i have been in in Florida. He gave me the grand tour the day i met him. God bless his Family.

Roberta and family, I was so saddened to hear of Burt's passing. We grew up on Spadina Parkway together and Taconic High School. It brought back so many wonderful memories.
My thought and prayers are with you and your family.

So sorry to hear about Burt passing! He was always so full of life and humor! Roberta, you and Burt always welcomed Ryan into your home with such open arms! Ryan was just telling me the other day some of his best memories were spent with Burt at your home in Hinsdale! He said if you stayed over on Friday that meant you would have to lend a hand doing chores on Saturday! Picking apples and doing yard work. He just loved being with you all! My thoughts and prayers to you and your family! Hold...
