When I moved here from McGuire AFB in 1995 I was looking for tennis players to play doubles with. After meeting Mr B we played doubles every week for 18 years! Along with Robin Overstreet, Skip Ledbetter, John Sinkins and Dick Brock we made great memories and thats what life is all about.

Take comfort in knowing that now you have a special guardian angel to watch over all of you as Mr Burleigh's family. I worked with Mr. Burleigh a long time at the shipyard, thought he was a great friend and co-worker. He will be sorely missed.
