I am sorry for the loss in your family. I did not know "Tootsie" but by reading this obituary I realized he was related to Benji that graduated from Manchester High School in 1980. He was a great person and missed and I would guess that it will be the same for "Tootsie".
My sympathies to the Burba family and friends.
