It feels odd sharing news of Burt’s death in an email or text. It feels odd having that news to share.
from a February 26, 2025 email
He lived large and well right up to his last few days. Even during 4 years with dementia he found some connection with people, and pleasure in making that connection. His world shrank dramatically in the final days as he seemed to shrink and as he struggled sleeping and breathing but no longer connecting.
On Tuesday morning, he’d had enough and was ready to go.
It is nearly two years since Burt passed. It feels like a very long time ago.
It also feels like it just happened.
