Obituary of Richard Irvine Burner

Life’s beauties and wonders cover such a range but just as the wind they too quickly change. With his son and his daughter by his side, Richard (Dick) Burner passed away, suddenly but quietly, on Sunday, July 29, 2007 at the age of 71 years. Predeceased by his wife Marie (his angel by his side), Dick leaves behind his son Craig, his daughter Kari and his ever-faithful dog and companion Cleo. Dick is also survived by his sister Dorothy, daughter-in-law Melanie, grandson Quinn, many nieces and nephews, and an extensive network of family and friends.
