Obituary: James Burt of St. Louis Park

Service is Tuesday, Sept. 3, 2013 at The Church of the Holy Family in St. Louis Park.

James Burt of St. Louis Park 

April 11, 1923 - August 30, 2013  
Preceded in death by his beloved wife of 62 years, Audrey; and his son, Gary.

Survived by his second wife, Alice; children, Susie (Tom) O'Brien, Tom Burt, Jim (Margaret) Burt, Tim (Renee) Burt, Sally (Jerry) Kraft, Michael (Robbie) Burt, Missy (Mike) Stahlecker, David (Lisa Kelly) Burt, and Tedd Burt (Lisa Vang); 21 grandchildren and 16 great-grandchildren.

Jim attended DeLaSalle High School and a year at the University of Minnesota where he was a member of the Gopher football team. After serving as a Hennepin County Deputy Sheriff he pursued a career in auto sales, first at Malkerson Oldsmobile, then later at Prestige Lincoln Mercury. That was the beginning of a 45 year career as an award-winning salesman. But we are most grateful for his dedication as father, grandfather and great-grandfather. He was loving, caring and wonderful example for his children. We will dearly miss him.
