Not sure what to say?

Chris often went on our river trip to the boat yard or to the lake. He was called the "slug" because he did not have a boat. Chris always arrived for the long trip with a box of doughnuts!!! We loved them and him!

I will never forget Chris. I have the image of us taking "Darfin" down the river with his huge box of donuts!!

I will never forget my colleague and fellow Columbia College film school classmate Chris Burritt. Goodby, dear friend.

The guest book may be closed but Chris will never be forgotten family.

I was so happy to see additional notes to you from those growing up on Linden Ave. and going to school with Chris, my son, Tim Hayes, now living in Wimberly, Texas with his family, Barbara Anton, etc. There are times when his name would come up within my family, Mike, Tim, Kathy, Susan, and the fun they all had living
on the same block. He will never be forgotten by us. Marge(Hayes)Calvert

I will always remember Chris and his love for the Titanic history, trains, films, dogs, great local stories, the Columbia Yacht Club, his wonderful attitude and love of life. He was a great neighbor and was always a fun part of my life. We all will miss him. He lived his life well and was loved much, that's not bad-though too short a time with us.

I was sddened to just hear of Chris' passing. I was a classmate of Chris at St. Giles School. He seemed like a nice quiet fellow as a student. My prayers are with him and his family.

We were saddened to see that Chris had passed away. My family (The Anton's) lived next door to the Burritts in Oak Park for many years. I haven't seen Chris in recent years but my brother, Sarge, visited him on his last visit home.
Our deepest sympathies and condolences to Susan, Penny, Mary, Richard and all of Chris' family.
