During his time in the military he served for one year in Greenland. The sub-zero temperatures created a life-long yearning to live in Florida. He retired to Sarasota in 1999 with his wife Barbara. Burt was a professional photographer and continued this passion into his retirement. In addition to his wife Barbara, Burt is survived by a daughter in Califormia, 3 step children, 6 step grandchildren and a sister in Pennsylvania. He was preceded in death by a son. Burt cherished his Tuesday night poker buddies and many other loving friends he established during his years in Sarasota.
