Not sure what to say?

LT Schneider was a friend from the time we were on Taiwan together in the service of our Country and for all our times together after. I recorded a tribute to Burt - Echoes in the Sky - and presented it on social media. - lucky to have known Burt.

I think of Burt every time I walk past Handmaker (which is often.) I wish I had known that he lived "next door" to me! I would have visited him there. It was nice seeing Patty at the service.

It´s been six months since you left us! We love and miss you!! I know Hazel misses you more than ever and wishes you were here.

Missing you on our first Father´s Day without you! Love your girls

Burt has been a caring and a thoughtful friend for many years,, and I am sad to know of his passing. I know and I will remember his voice, and the love he had for his family. We almost bought a radio station together, that likely would have allowed Burt and me to forge an even closer friendship. For all that we shared with each other, I am sad to be without him present. May Burt and the memory of his many talents and ways be remembered, and my Burt rest in peace. Henry Skier

One month ago I helped give you a send off as you left this earthly plane. Buddies for 70 years, we were, we are, the Zoom Boys forever. I love you man and I miss you!
