When I heard about Burt’s passing, I felt a heavy sadness going through me. I have known Burt as a kind and gentle man, and his passing touched me deeply. Especially in his profession, I experienced his gentleman’s manners where he always made sure I felt comfortable under his care. I feel so sad for my friend Leni, who put in every effort to find a place for Burt where he would receive the utmost care and how short a time he was able to experience his new home. I feel sad for Burt’s family, who will feel an emptiness now that he is gone. I wish for Leni and her family that the memories Burt left behind will comfort them in their loss. Thank you Burt, for your life.
