Hey Rob, sorry for the loss of your dad, take care bro.
I’m very sorry to hear of John’s passing. Although I haven’t seen him since the early 80’s, when we worked together at J.A.Jones Const. Co., where he was a buyer, and I, senior clerk typist, in the Purchasing dept. I recognized him immediately seeing his photo & name with fond memories, of our work relationship. As I remember, he was one of the nicest of guys, a girl could befriend. May God Bless & be with John’s family & friends, at this most difficult time. Such a tragic loss, of such a wonderful man! RIP John, see you in Heaven!
We only got to meet John once when he came out for Rob’s wedding. Rob married our daughter, Amber. You could see how much he loved being with Rob and his grandson, Wyatt. Our deepest sympathy to Rob, Amber, Wyatt and John’s brothers. I am sure he will be missed by all.
Rob – We were shocked and saddened to hear the news today of your father’s passing. We had no idea that he was experiencing any health problems. We will remember him with fond memories. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. John – May you rest in peace!
Rob and Amber, I am so sorry for your loss. I’ve been thinking of you and praying for you. Your father was such a nice man. He raised you well. Wyatt and Little Baby Girl Burnett have a wonderful Guardian Angel looking over them. Please let me know if there is anything you need. Talk to you soon. Hugs to you!!
Rob I’m really sorry to hear about your dad. He was a great man and will be missed by many. I often think about all the hunting trips you and I went on with him. One favorite was when he took us up to Williams Lake. There is one special phase that makes me laugh every time. I’d bet you remember too.
Really sorry Rob. Please let me know if there is anything at all I can do. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
The Burnett Family,
I am so sorry to hear about Johnny’s passing. While growing up in Richland and living next door, on Cedar Street, I have so many great memories of the Burnett Family. I will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers.

My sincere condolences to the Burnett Families. John was a Richland Bomber classmate.
So sad the learn on John’s passing. I was a classmate of his and spend many many wonderful times with John, Mike Jennings and Marilyn Callahan. I worked with John later at J. A. Jones/Kaiser. My sympathy to his family, he was a great person.
