UPDATED: The Passing of Jim Burton

James BurtonFrom Cindy Emmer

Jim Burton, community theater director, producer, actor, and jack of all technical trades, passed away earlier Monday evening after a prolonged decline.

He passed peacefully, surrounded by family and friends. Service information to follow. He struggled mightily for the last five years, and for him at least that is over. He certainly earned his rest, but we still miss him – already. 

Thank you to all of you who visited, and kept him going by involving him in activities.

From Vicki Rafferty

Funeral arrangements – Friday, 11/24 at Mueller Funeral Home, 6971 Tylersville Road, Mason. Visitation is from 5:30 – 7:30 then service from 7:30 – 8:30.
