Remember Burns with great fondness. Always remember the story of his running into Eugene in Italy when they were in the military.

Burnsie, one of the greats from Ovid that made Ovid and Willard a special place during the 50's 60's and 70's and beyond. I remember him getting his nursing license, going back to Ovid High to take a few courses and going on to help others. Always a good guy, you will be missed by many.
