I was so sad when Richard called to tell me the news. I was especially sorry too that I was leaving town for a week and unable to attend Burt's send-off. I'm sure it was quite a gathering and one that he certainly deserved. As one of the original members of Burt's "Parc Fontaine family" I've known him since the early 70s. The countless experiences, laughter and fun we shared over the decades could fill a book. Burt was larger than life and I was fortunate that he was my friend. Burt, we'll all miss you and will never stop telling Mule stories whenever we get together. Save us a good spot, we'll all be joining you soon enough. Love you, Dar Hixon

dear Burt, you truly will always be the brightest star in the sky.you never met a stranger and always made everyone feel welcome... knowing you for the past 8 years brought so many smiles and conversations filled with laughter that i will always remember. Just listening to you sing along with dylan (blood on the tracks) driving around the countryside and cutting up...going to the racetrack, and watching the saints at chimes, lunch dates and seeing your gentle acts of kindness will always be vivid memories for me. I know dundee and buddy are missing you too.....although we all have such heavy hearts to see you leave, we know God needed you ,but you will be missed and loved by all that knew you..

The only thing greater than the pain of losing Burt is the joy of having known him. I lost my very best friend and I know there are many others who feel the same. He told me his nickname "Mule" came from the fact that he was lazy and didn't see well. I never saw the lazy. Helping me build a barn and drive across the country -and expecting nothing in return- was hardly lazy. I'll give him the eyesight part though- we played golf together. Burt cared tremendously for his family and friends while demonstrating a free spirit that could make us all happier. He never had a bad word to say about anyone-except the Atlanta Falcons! So long old boy. Thanks for the memories. Gonna be a lonely world without you in it. Keep working on that swing!

How lucky I was to know Burt and work alongside him at the Jazz Fest. Luckily, we had recently reconnected. What life, what spirit! I will never forget that infectious laugh and how he brightened my life. Long may you run, my friend!

When Robin called and told me this morning, that you were gone Burt, I was so shocked. We were getting together after talking a couple weeks ago. I will miss you terribly and you were a part of our family. Now you, Dru and Debbie are telling stories about us in heaven. LOVE YOU,but so did all the Martin girls.
