Even though I've been living in Maine now for several years, I'll fondly remember Bill Burt and his great sense of humor and kindness. I have great memories of attending his dog obedience classes held in the basement of a church in Bristol, Ct., and his tales of adventures with his corgi named "Felony". What a great man he was. I will deeply miss him.

Bill was a great friend and mentor, he will be missed. He helped me learn to slow down and just take life one day at a time, for that I will always be thankful.

Our deepest condolences to Bill's family.
We knew Bill through his dog training and showing activities. He was always a patient and compassionate teacher, mentor, and role model.
