I was very saddened to hear of Burr's passing. Burr and I were childhood friends in Lincolnshire. We spent many hours together dabbling in electronics or tying to create things that went "boom" from household chemicals. Burr was one of the most intelligent people I've ever met. As I get older I think quite often of the good times we had.

Virginia, I am so sorry to learn of your husband's passing. What a terrible surprise. So young. I didn't know him but reading your family's article, what a great person he was, and what an interesting person. I will contact you by mail shortly. I am so very sorry. Love, thoughts, and prayers for you and your family. Gretchen G. Mobley
Virginia. I so sorry to hear this. I always enjoyed our visits when I cut his hair. I loved to tease him about putting gel in his hair!! He could not get out of that chair fast enough! I considered him a friend and will miss him. May God bless you at this difficult time.
Virginia, I'm so sorry to hear of Burr's passing. I have lots of memories from the UI of Burr's insatiable curiosity. I'll miss him. Our thoughts are with you.-Allan & Pat
