From the first day we moved to Pinnacle, there was always the warm, welcoming presence of Burton in our lives. Always wanting to offer any kind of assistance, Burton would be over here either on his 4-wheeler or Kubota tractor with ideas, suggestions and willing hands.
Burton was always willing to share stories and lessons from his experiences, from driving an oil delivery truck, to working in or running a foundry or his history of working as a machinist.
I learned much about metallurgy, mold-making, machining and farming, along with a colorful history of his time in the Navy at Pearl Harbor.
Watching him grow with his grandchildren, I saw his excitement of seeing children grow. The grandchildren sparked a fire in his heart and he did everything in his power to keep the flame alive between himself and them.
Watching them excitedly ask to ride with him on the 4-wheeler or the tractor and seeing the peaceful happiness in those children as they rode with him was a sight to behold!
His conversations with us on what he had read from The Bible were enlightening and his desire to live by The Bible was commendable!
His life was an example to us all with his dedication to hard work and living within God's word.
His presence will be felt storngly in our hearts and neighborhood for time infinite.
We love you Burton. God has taken you home to your reward well deserved!
