We have known the Munk family for many, many years. We have celebrated many happy and wonderful occassions, from Indian Princesses to Camp Jackpine Post camp to Martha's rummed Christmas cakes. We are deeply saddened by Burt's passing. He will be remembered as a kind, gentle person.



Our sympathies to the families.

I am so saddened to hear that Burt Munk has passed away. I worked for Burt when he had his company on Walton Street many, many years ago and Mary was his secretary. He and Martha attended my wedding in 1970. He was a gentleman and a great boss. My deepest sympathy to his daughters and his entire family.

Burt was my friend and client for many years. We had lunch and visited with one another fairly frequently. He always had interesting perspectives on life. I'll miss him. My sympathy to his daughters and their families.
