What I remember most about Burt over the years is his ongoing faithful Christian witness. Be well.

A flaming lamp has moved from Willoughby to a better place, where, by the grace of Almighty God it still brings light to our lives.

Mere words cannot express. In many ways Burt, WUMC, and the town of Willoughby uphold for me what Christianity is and should be. I will ever remain thankful for the way that Burt, participating with his town and church strove to make the unity of the church a reality. I especially remember those few occasions when I was privileged to sit with Burt and his family at Good Friday services. Burt has retired to a better worship service. See you soon, my brother. Be comforted in your loss, my dear, dear, dearly beloved friends... really family. Be well. "Uncle" Herb

Yes, Burt was president of our Fraternity, a sponsor of many parties at the beach, an active and noted alumni, and so much more: but it was Burt's service in his church for which I remember him most... not just a fraternity brother... much, much more... my beloved brother in Christ.

My best to Burt's family. Burt & I went to Browning elementary school, were in cub scouts and went through Confirmation together. Although we haven't seen each other for many years, I retain many fond memories.

I worked with Burt during the 1990s. He was a very easy man to like. He was always there when you needed him. He is missed, my deepest condolences to your family.

Linda and Family. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this sad time. We are so sorry for your loss. Try to keep Burt´s spirit alive in your hearts by remembering all the good times you have shared. One of our favorite Bible verses is: "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me". Praying for peace and comfort for all of you. May Burt Rest in Peace.

The sadness of saying goodbye, The legacy of wonderful memories;
The ending of physical trials, The legacy of strength and determination;
The loss of a Willoughby UMC pillar, The legacy of faith and skilled leadership;
The yearning to hear that laugh and see those twinkling eyes, The legacy of giving others hope, encouragement, and levity; The wonder of family, The legacy of good parenting... Burt Judson was one of the finest men I´ve ever known and a true example of Christian witness and service! I will miss him and so will you, yet his legacy lives on in the heart and soul... That´s quite a gift and an invitation to be more!
Thank you, Burt!

I was so sad to hear about your Dad and my Uncle Burt. So many happy memories of family gatherings. I regret that I can´t be with you tomorrow. I still avoid groups due to the pandemic. But my thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Our wonderful God of comfort will be with you as well. My love to all of you. Your Dad was a great guy! Warm love and sympathy.
