Thank you for the wonderful picture of the tree planted in Joe's memory. I was there the day it was dedicated and am happy to see that it has grown into a strong and healthy piece of nature. Hopefully, it will continue to grow and flourish just as the students that walk by it every day. Judy Burvan
ReplyDeleteThere are just people we will always miss. He is one of them. I am glad to know about the tribute.
ReplyDeleteI was a member of the '77-'78 Undefeated football team that helped organize this plaque in honor of beloved coach Burvan. Coach Tom Ryan suggested that we plant a tree along the path that Coach always walked on his way to work each day as a PE teacher. He would park his VW bug as close as possible and would stroll along this path. He was great. Still miss him. Ned Tonner
