Not sure what to say?

I have been John Burr's golf partner at Columbia Golf Club in Claverack for the past two years and he was such a lovely and intelligent man. His death leaves a void for all who knew him and his good heart.

My husband, Bill and I are long time friends of John & Deirdre's. I went to Pine Manor with Deirdre and met John when they married. We have kept up through the years and loved them both. We've been with John on several occasions and enjoyed him so much. He was a great guy and will be missed. We were in Claverack with them a few years ago. We were so sad to hear of their tragic accident.Deepest sympathy to the family.

We are so saddened to learn of John's senseless and tragic accident. He was a wonderful friend. Please know we share in your sorrow and send sincerest condolences to all the family.

With love, Cyn and John
