It was certainly an honor and privilege to know Bro. Burt. I thoroughly enjoyed visiting with him and hearing his stories. He certainly loved his country, his family, his Lord, and his Pastor and church family. I'll really miss the encouragement I received from him. He was one of those special Christians who you knew prayed for you. We'll be praying for Mary, Bro. Scott, Dawn, and the whole family during this time. God bless you. The Bacons
