Just heard about Mr. Burns passing. So sorry to hear this. Mr Burns was always somewhat intimidating to me when growing up because he was so tall. He was always very nice to me and my friends. He was always around to help fix anything that was not working. May be rest in peace.

Dear memories begin when meeting you all on a Sunday a.m. when my Bob was candidating for the pulpit of CRC. What a joy then, and what continued for these many years, with many memories of our days traveling and singing our way to the Work Camp out west!!!!.and many years of Stoneybrook as friends, neighbors, etc. etc. AND visitors to the Southern California experience!!!! Thank you both for having been a vital part of our lives!! Jean
