I met Burt at about 1994 soon after I moved to Berlin, MD and joined Temple Bat Yam. Burt was active in the Temple and always had a strong point of view. I played poker with Burt, Don Klein, Jerry Wells, Ed Abrams, Paul Helfner, Marty Green and others almost every Tuesday night. Burt brought creativity and fun to the event. He won more often then he should have. During the summer we played at the Brae Mar, in the community room and Burt made sure that it was available for us.
Burt and Gloria gave generously to the Temple. The building would not have been built without their help.
Burt, I miss your kindness and your wisdom. Rest in peace.
