Anyone who knew my Uncle Walt was fortunate.We all loved him so. He taught by example many life lessons of truth, honesty, generosity and kindness. It always made me feel special when I could make him laugh out loud. He had a good long run but it would never have been enough.
Spent many a happy afternoon playing bridge with Walt and Rose. Keeping the family in my prayers. Nancy Sheppard
When I think of Walt I recall seeing him playing golf years ago often with his friend David Jack. Walt put his golf bag on this motorized push cart. Often he would let the cart go and it would take off rolling 30 or 40 feet ahead of him .He would soon catch up and would then retrieve his cart..In later years I would often see Walt serving as an usher at St. James church. I will always remember Walt as a very kind and decent man as well as an excellent well-respected attorney. .In my mind I think of Walt as the epitome of what it is to be a true gentleman. I will miss him and will always remember him with fond memories.. Dan Gaumer
Cathy, Mrs. Burger, and family - so sorry for your loss. Please know you remembered in the thoughts & prayers of many.
I went to work for Mr. Burger back in 1997, I think. I’ve thought about Mr. Burger so many times. I thought at first that I couldn’t work for him, but he challenged me and grew me in knowledge of the law and I grew to love him, even in the short time I was at Burger, Fombelle, etc. He certainly made me a better legal secretary and I won’t soon forget him. Condolences and prayers for the family.
So sorry to see this..i cleaned their house for a while..Mr. burger was a great help to me when my husband passed away with legal items. I always enjoyed our conversations. my love and prayers to Rose and all of you. Thank you for sharing him with so many of us. Diane Mears
