Dave Burns was a star at Great Island, known for his warm humor and willingness to give a hand to anyone who needed his help. In our early years at Great Island, Shirley Heath and I hired Dave for some specialty painting in our house. Shirley and I were headed on a three month trip, and we were anxious about leaving the house in the hands of our relatively new neighbor. Dave was such a comfort and assured us that all our furniture and art work, maps, wall hangings were in good hands. He did a great job on the painting, and he remained a wonderful neighbor for the rest of his life. Pat surely knows her husband was a treasure, and I hope she knows that her friends and neighbors will continue to remember her and Dave´s remarkable years together.

Working with Pat for many years I was very lucky to get to know Dave. Dave was so friendly, and had such a great sense of humor. He was an excellent golfer and we loved to share golf stories . He always entertained the teachers at Magic Years when he came to visit Mrs. Burns. We will miss Dave and send our love to the Burns family

I went to Milton High School with Dave, and we both graduated the same year. When I first started with NET, I worked in the Harrison CO. After many years in Harrison, I took a bid to I&R at the Quincy Garage. On my first day in Quincy, I was assigned to ride with Dave and "learn the ropes". I hadn't seen Dave in years, and he turned out to be a great Instructor. I spent many good years in Quincy, and Dave and I worked together many times on "two man jobs". Dave was a great guy.

While growing up Dave was my good and devoted friend. I first met him in the fifth grade when he moved to Milton with his Dad and sister to live with his Aunt. While I have so many memories of time with Dave, I most remember playing endless baseball games, swimming in the Quincy quarries, going to the Boston College Friday night dances, playing golf at Ponkapoag GC and co-captaining the Milton High soccer team our senior year. In so many ways Dave brought spirit and fun to my life and for that I am forever grateful. Rest in peace, my friend. Fran Finizio
