I am so very sorry to hear this! I had spoken to him on the telephone about our shared genealogy and was just thinking about him today. I would like to send my sincere sympathy and condolences to Mrs. Burden and their family. He was someone I wish I had gotten to speak with much more.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the Burden family. Al was such a kind and good natured friend - as we were "neighbors" on the 10th floor of the Nix. We enjoyed getting together in retirement at the lunches for the Nix "old timers." We sure wanted to be there today at the services, but we went to the wrong Porter Loring location. God bless.

Alfred Burden or Al as he liked to be called was an enormous influence in my life. He welcomed me into private practice and shared countless ideas and insights about patient care. He was an excellent, dedicated, caring ophthalmologist who left an enduring legacy of well treated patients, many of whom I see today. He lived an honorable life and his love for Elizabeth and his entire family were always his top priority. I am a better man for having known him and working with him. He will be missed.

Dr. Burden was such a kind good eye doctor. He did eye surgery on my daughter in the early 70's & was so good, So sorry to hear he has passed.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the Burden family. He was a great ophthalmologist, very kind and gentleman. He welcomed me into the Nix Hospital of physicians and into his on call group back in 1983. I will never forget those wonderful years. RIP, you will be missed.

I appreciate Al Burden so much for his Christian example and work in God's Kingdom. I will always remember his comments in Bible class that I richly benefited from. Our prayers go out to his wonderful family and I'm so glad that Al has gone on to receive his reward.
