Burl was a good friend and one you could count on. When he was in church in Crab Orchard, he was a leader in that church and did much to further the Kingdom of God there. He was a significant help years ago when we brought a Christian Power Team to Cumberland County. That team won 641 to Christ in one 4-day period and over 1,500 came to the altar. Burl and I set-up the stage and took it down every night the power team was here. I have missed Burl’s corny jokes for a number of years but I look forward to hearing them again some day in Heaven. May God rest his soul and give Janeil comfort in Burl’s passing.
