Obituary of William Burt

April 30th, 1997, Bill passed away on his favorite spot, the golf course. On June 26th, 2013, after enjoying 16 more years with family, life and his Corvair, Bill has gone to be with his parents Robert and Gertrude (Wood) Burt and his brothers Robert, Walter and Ronald. Beloved husband of Georgina (Wilkey) Burt. Loving father of Dann and Aradhana Burt, and Erin Burt and Gerry Sherman. Wonderful Poppa to Mitchell and Sydney Burt, Taylor, Dalton and Jordan Sherman, Tracy and Paul Reid, and Callie, Cody and Dustin Wright. Bill has left behind his youngest brother Gerald and wife Karen Burt. Bill enjoyed many years of golf at Highland Golf Club, as well as the years of driving his 1965 Yellow Corvair, with “UNSAIF” plates, and having Mitchell and Dann with their own Corvairs, attending many Sunday night Cruises together. We would like to express our gratitude to the nurses and staff of University Hospital, Cardiac 6th floor, and Dialysis Team, 3rd floor, for the personal care and concern they showed to Bill for the past 2 1/2 months, and to friends who have supported us throughout this time. Cremation has taken place. Friends will be received on Tuesday from 2:00-4:00 and 7:00-9:00 p.m. at the WESTVIEW FUNERAL CHAPEL, 709 Wonderland Road North, London, where a Celebration of Bill’s life will be conducted on Wednesday, July 3rd, 2013 at 11:00 a.m. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the Cardiac Fitness Program, Attention Dr. Larry Patrick at the London Health Sciences Foundation. Sixteen years ago, after Bill described his “seeing the light, but not being able to ‘open the door’”, his grandson asked “Why did God send you back? What did the clouds feel like when you floated through them? And - Did it hurt when you hit the ground?” Sixteen years later, we say “Rest in Peace Poppa”.
