Our beloved husband, dad, papa, friend, held close in God's hand, left us Sept. 27, 2007. He was surrounded by his loving family and friends. Burt was 84 years old.
He was born in Snohomish, Wash., and moved to Vancouver as a small child. He moved to Carlton, and attended high school there.
Burt joined the Navy right after Pearl Harbor day and was in six major battles in the South Pacific. During one of these battles, Burt saved the lives of 10 men for which he received the Navy Commendation Medal. Burt was a warm, loving and caring person who loved fishing, hunting and camping with his family. Being with children was a great joy to Burt. He loved them and they loved him. At home, Burt was always working in his garden which was large enough to share with friends and family. He will always be remembered for saying, "Come on over and have some fruit or vegetables." Burt's greatest love was the love of God who was with him throughout the many years of his illness with C.O.P.D.
Burt is survived by his wife, Pat, whom he married in 1956. Burt and Pat have one daughter, Debbie. Debbie and Jeff have two daughters, Brittney and Bridget. Burt is also survived by two sons, Allan and Delana and their three children, Zan, Justin and Allana; Tom and Jeri and their two sons, TJ and Wes. Burt has seven great-grandchildren.
A memorial service will be held at 12 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 6 at Pilgrim Lutheran Church, 5650 S.W. Hall Blvd., Beaverton....
