My memories of Burt trace back to the days at Henry Lee where he was a salesman. The company was still small back than, its was like a family and Burt was a big part of it. He always had a warm smile and I looked forward to seeing him when the salesman came in everday and sat in the back room of the building off 62nd Ave. and made phone calls to customer. He was good at sales and was one of the big hitters back than. Burt was a good person and I am very sorry to hear about his death. My deepest sympathy to his family.
