My dad's maternal uncle, Burton
Watt, or as we called him Uncle Burt was a wonderful man. Burt would visit us
when we lived in Deckerville, Michigan. His daughter, Jean, lived in Flint and
the whole family, Uncle Burt, Aunt Fran, Jean, her husband, Ed Schuler and
their daughter, Kathy, would drive over to see my dad. This is such a short obituary
for the 101 years that he lived. I will have to honor him in another blog post.
Burton L. Watt's obituary transcription from the Marquette Mining Journal, 11
March 1994, page 5A, column 6:
