When I was was asked by a web site login for a security question "Who was my favorite teacher" it was and has always been Ted Burba without a second thought.

Thank you Mr. Burba for making a difference in so many lives. You were one of my favorite teachers...always striving to make class relevant and engaging while you connected with each student. Your humor and kindness will never be forgotten...rest in peace. Class of 1976

Mr. Burba was one of a kind and an irreplaceable impact on my life while at Northview. Taking two of his courses, he was always smiling, always warm and welcoming, and always willing to help and support in any way possible. His memory and passion for life still holds true to through all of his students and all the lives he touched. Sending love to his family. Thank you Mr. Burba for being a life-changing teacher.

Mr. Burba was one of those teachers that you remember for a lifetime. He was the gold standard of teachers.
May his memory be eternal.
