I’m off to the funeral of Chuck Burt, 66, of Round Rock, TX.
Chuck was an Air Force veteran, fellow Patriot Guard Rider, an EMT. He was a pilot. He was a ham radio operator. He was an avid motorcyclist, logging thousands of cross-country miles each year. He even judged flowers in flower shows.
He was a kind and generous man — and a good friend.
Chuck was killed riding his motorcycle last week when a gravel truck pulled out in front of him on HWY 29 in Georgetown.

Sadly, I also found out this morning that a good friend and former colleague of mine passed away and his funeral is this afternoon, right after Chuck’s.
So today will be a long, difficult day, and probably won’t feel like writing when it’s over.

I never met Chuck, but I wish I had. We have a lot in common (rider, pilot, ham, etc).
I hope and believe that he is in a better place.

I’m sorry for your loss, Robbie.
You’ll be in our thoughts today.
My condolences, Robbie.
My sympathies.
They always seem to come in bunches.
Robbie: Sorry for the loss of your two friends..
