Read MoreI was saddened to learn of the passing of Mr. Burbage. I have very fond memories coming to Charleston to visit my grandmother on Rutledge & So. Battery because I would get to go to Mr. Brubage's. He always knew who I was and knew what grandchildren were coming to visit by what soft drinks she ordered. He was a remarkable man. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

I write this with remembrance for a fine man. Mr. burbage was a good leader and man throughout his life. He was always willing to lend a hand if someone needed it and was good with advise when a young person needed some leadership. I send this message with fond memories of growing up downtown and knowing this fine individual personally.I hope only the best for his family and friends.

Our thoughts and and prayers are with you all. Having grown up on Savage Street, Mr Burbage's kindness has always been part of my favorite childhood memories. Grabbing a treat at Burbage's has become a tradition for my children when we come to town. I am so glad they were able to meet him. He will be missed!

There are so many wonderful memories of him being a caring and kind man... I will always cherish the kindness, smiles and laughter he shared with me when I had a rough day... My mother passed in October this year and I can just about bet there is a lot of laughter going on... What a blessing to know Mr. B and his family. Thank you and God Bless all of you... Virginia

I grew up on Lenwood and always went to see Mr. B with my .25 allowance on Saturdays. He was a wonderful man and tolerated all of us when we went in and asked how much everything was. I can remember sitting on the Coke cooler at this store on Tradd and talking to him. Charleston will not be the same without him. He was a true mentor to us all and will be sorely missed.
