Jack George Burth Jr., Age 91, of Boiling Springs, South Carolina, born on March 22, 1928, went to be with his Lord on December 29, 2019. Born in Jamaica, New York, he was the son of the late John F. Burth Sr. and Elizabeth Klein Burth and husband to the late Rose Helga Dierks Burth.
He leaves behind his three children: Robert Burth (Connie) of Easley, South Carolina, Lynn Patrick (Mark) of Charlotte, North Carolina, and Aileen Califano of Boiling Springs, South Carolina. Six grandchildren: John Burth of Greenville, Henry Burth (Caitlin) of Eden, Maryland, Amanda Meares (Reece) of Easley, South Carolina, Brett Patrick (Ashley) of Rock Hill, South Carolina, Evan Patrick of Charlotte, North Carolina and Nicholas Califano of Greenville, South Carolina. Mr. Burth is predeceased by two brothers, and was the last of his siblings.
Jack, known by most as John, was a very intelligent man who loved history, going to movies and watching his history show “Ancient Aliens”. He loved a meal bought with a coupon or a buy one get one free meal deal. He may have been a man who rarely smiled, but enjoyed working with people as a volunteer with Spartanburg County Government Administration Offices which he did for many years. John never met a stranger. Mr. Burth was retired from route sales/management of various snack food companies.
A service will be held at the Dillard Funeral Home Chapel at 12:00 PM on Friday, January 3, 2019 with a visitation before the service from 11:00 AM to 12:00 PM. Burial will be at Hillcrest Memorial Park.
