Of Jackson passed away on Tuesday, March 3, 2020 at the age of 90.

He was born in Hudson, Michigan on March 20, 1929 to Cecil and Alice (Anderson) Burkhart and is a graduate of Pittsford high school. Despite the fact, he was not a sports fan, Mr. Burkhart liked the news and was a hard working man. He was constantly busy tinkering with odd jobs and small projects. He owned and operated Gizmo's Pizza with four locations in the Jackson area. Although he was unique and set in his ways, he was appreciative of those that knew how to take him. According to his wishes cremation has been selected and a gathering will be held at a later date.
