Default Sad news
I just wanted to let our friends know in the NoVa area that our friend and club member, Mike Burton passed away over the weekend after attending a car show with us to benefit our local volunteer fire company. This is an older picture of his car (Thanks Wayne) but I'm sure many of you have seen it at shows, and under the Chuck CoW tent at Carlisle.
I will post arrangements as soon as I have them. We are planning a Corvette procession if anyone is interested in joining us. Mike was such a nice guy, and we will surely miss him. Prayers for his family would be appreciated.
Services for Mike... Family Night from 6-9, Friday, Sept. 21 at Royston Funeral Home, 106 East Washington Street Middleburg, Va. Service Saturday, Sept 22, 11 am at Royston
