I have never met James Burtoft, But he is a member of a remarkable Family. The Burtoft's originated in 810AD. The original Viking Hamlet of "Burtoft" was founded in 810AD and is still there. All "Burtoft's" were descendants of that original group. I wish James's Family all the best in the New Year and my condolences on his passing.

Mr. Burtoft was my father's boss. He and his wife was so very kind to my family. I remember visiting their home as a child. Mr. Burtoft came to my mother's grave service last April when she passed away. He was still self sufficient, drove himself to the cemetary. How blessed his family was to have had him so long. A dear, kind man. Trauda Gilbert, daughter of Gustav and Linda Kelm
