I'm so sorry to hear this news. I'm pretty sure I've known Dr. Burton all of my life. He took care of my pets when I was a kid and later he took care of my kids pets! He was such a good man, a true gentleman and someone you could rely on and trust completely! My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

Proverbs 12:10 states that the righteous one is caring for the soul of the domestic animal... May our creator remember the fine works of Dr. Burton and may your family be comforted by his love.

Dottie and Michelle,
Your father helped us out so many times with our pets. One in particular swallowed a needle and thread which lodged in her throat. Poor kitty. We thought she was dead and bagged her for the trash........ your Dad resuscitated her and she lived many more years. I suspect he had more patience than anyone I knew.
Sorry to hear of your loss. My deepest sympathy.

Dottie & Michelle,

My heart goes out to you both and the rest of the family. Wish Ohio was closer to FL so I could be there. I know this world has been a better place with the kindness, honor, and grace your father has shared towards so many others. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Your father has always been like a second father to my mother. Uncle Art was wonderful and just made you smile and want to be a better person. He will be greatly missed. Much love, Tami

We will miss seeing Dr. Burton out in his yard in Tradewinds. Such a nice, gentle man; I bet he has lots of his patients surrounding him at the Rainbow Bridge right now! Our sincere condolences to his family.
