We were saddend to lear yesteday that Burton had left us to go shopping with his wife.
We were fortunate to have enjoyed business relationship with Burton and Scott for many years.
Burton's enthusiasm for our industry electrified us to strive to better each day.
We will surely miss one of the great pioneers of the aftermarket construction parts industry.

Dear Grenrock Family~
May the most beautiful memories of Burt be shared with everyone...at 3 years old Alexis was dressed as a princess and asked Burt to be her prince and dance with her...naturally he hopped out of his seat and was the most precious prince. Danielle entertained Burt at Hanukkah by turning on every musical holiday toy. And, when the music finally stopped with an enormous grin he asked her to play them all again. I am grateful for who has been to me and my family...our Prince! These are just a few...May all the lovely memories be shared and cherished forever.
With love,
Jamie, Alexis and Danielle Ries
