To Liz Burton and Family.
So sorry to hear of Bob's passing. It makes the fact that he wasn't home a few weeks ago when I called in to see him all the more upsetting for me. I will never forget the 1960's when Bob and Graham helped me survive these great years. I remember the day I bought my Mark 1 Zephyr- the first thing Bob and I did was take it back to Maber Motors after hours and remove the perfectly good Ford Muffler and replace it with a Ferguson Tractor muffler-Why? because it made a better noise! The cackle could be heard 2 blocks away! Rest in Peace my friend, and have a Beer ready for when we meet again.

So very sorry to hear of Bob´s passing. My memories go back to the day the Burton family arrived in Morrinsville from Blenheim. As long as I live I will always have a reminder of Bob as I, as an initiation to the hollowed classes of Morrinsville College, flicked Bob with ink. Retaliation was swift, Bob threw a pen at me which hit my foot and to this day I still have the ink spot tattooed on my foot.
I know, through my connections in Blenheim of the skylarks the Burton Boys got up to. At Thunder Lucas´s funeral the Davis boys mentioned the time Bob was locked into the Coker and Mills icecream factories freezer when a group of them tried to raid the factory. Must be many, of the like, stories that happened in Morrinsville. Sadly I missed them as I left the metropolis of Morrinsville after leaving school.
My sincere condolences to all of Bob´s family.

So sorry to hear of Bobs passing. Condolences to the family from the MBS team, our thoughts are with you.

The loveliest man, so kind and gentle. His love for Liz, Christine and Craig, and pride in his grandchildren was always evident. I always loved seeing him and Liz at various functions over the years. Sending much love - go gently. Thinking of you all.
