It seems that it was just yesterday we said good bye! But now Joe and Judy Clay have joined you. You all are still loved and missed greatly.

I met Boo and his family in the mid to late 1950s when my parents took us from Corpus Christi, TX to enjoy wonderful vacations at the Triple B Ranch for a couple of summers to escape the South Texas heat.

I was checking today about the fire near Woodland Park and am worried about the ranch. My research brought me to Boo's obituary.

I had a young girl's crush on Boo when we were both small children those two summers long ago. He was such a fun playmate.

I often wondered about him and his parents, but never saw them again.

I am saddened to learn of his death at such an early age, but happy to know that he had such a loving family over the years. I was also sad to learn of his mom's and Bud's deaths.
Sincerely,
Susan Bailey

You were truly one of a kind, Cuz, and it's why I've loved you for almost 60 years (and don't plan on stopping now). R.I.P.

Boo,
You were a mentor and a friend. You were one of the best people I ever had the pleasure of knowing. Every once and a while someone comes along in our lives that we just click with instantly and you were one of those people I will miss you and I will see you on the other side brother. (Rick Allen)

Boo, I am so sorry I didn't get to say goodbye.I will never forget my other brother,who was always there for me.I am so so sorry Chis and everybody in the family.I love you very much. I bet God will have his hands full with Boo and Eric togetjerr again .Thank you for being there for me and will see you again.God bless all the angles and your family!

Boo will be missed by all who knew him.

I cant help thinking that "Boo" is looking down on all of us and laughing at some joke that he is the only one privy to the punch line until his friends and family join him! Jaci Clay

As the days and weeks pass by may you always feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.
Most of my memories of "Boo" comes from the class reunions that I would go to with my Mother. It was a joy to me on those occasions, I could only imagine the joy he brought to his friends and family every day.
He will be loved and missed for many ears to come. My hart goes out to all of you! Jacquelyn Clay & Judy (Clay) Kaufman

Boo was a good friend and someone who was always fun to be around. There are no friends like old friends. Our thoughts for Chris and family.

I count myself blessed to have known Phil's friendship. He truly knew what it meant to be a friend. He made an impact on my life and I am thankful for the kindness he showed me.

Boo, You were like a brother to me..You always kept me laughing.. We had good times back on the ranch.. I love your family. God bless you and keep your wife, kids and grand kids

The world lost a wonderful man. My thoughts go out to his family. Boo will sorly be missed. Myrna Daly

Phil was a friend, co-worker, union brother, and boss. Phil loved his family the ranch. And anyone who knew Phil knows the pride and love he had for both of them. Phil was also a man that stood up for his beliefs. Phil should always be with us when we think of family and the working men and women. Phil made life richer, simply by being Phil.

Good memories of a special man, our thoughts and prayers to the family.

All of our thoughts and prayers are with all of your family.

To the Burns family,
I had the blessed opportunity to know Phil through IUOE Local 9 as a secretary at the Grand Junction Hall, and my husband even longer as a fellow brother of IUOE Local 9. Phil will very much be missed. I never met someone who loved his family, kids and grandkids more than Phil. He shared all the pictures with us at work even after he retired. Heaven must have needed a "Special" Angel, and that is Phil.
Peace and Love to all the family left behind.
Mr. & Mrs. David & Debbie Cayou

I have this feeling there's one more star up in the sky tonight, And even though it's far away, it's brightness and warmth still reach us here, to make the night a little less dark
