Not sure what to say?

Beth, I am so sorry to hear about your fathers passing. You are in my thoughts and prayers today and in the coming days as you walk through this difficult time.

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.

I remember visiting the family when I was yet a child in Evans City. I am the youngest daughter of Jane Sutton Lieb (cousin of Bill Burkett). May the family have comfort from many memories.

You will be missed

So sorry for the loss of John. I worked with John in the engineering department at Heckett. I was the secretary for the engineering department. We were just talking about him recently

Sorry to hear of Mr. Burkert passing, had many fun times at the house with the whole family. Remember him "trying" to teach me chest, never got the hang of the game. Last time I saw parents was at a baseball game at Pullman park, they were sitting in front row cheering on grandson. Peace be with you all at this time.

Beth and family, I am so sorry for your loss. I remember him well. (And the "horse" he made out of a barrel). You all have my deepest sympathy. Lou Ann (Gutshall) Kennedy.
