Those are the traits attributed to the late Barbuda councilman from those who knew him best.
Tributes poured in during and after his funeral ceremony at the Barbuda Pentecostal Church on Thursday morning.
Among them was one from Barbuda MP Trevor Walker, who recognised Burton’s contribution to the council, including one that many to this date remember as one of his most significant achievements on Barbuda.

“I served with him in 2001 and one of the things that is very profound to me is that when he was first elected he served as chairman of the health committee and he insisted with us that the hospital should operate 24 hours a day,” Walker recalled.

And Esau said to Jacob, Feed me, I pray thee, with that same red pottage; for I am faint;
And Jacob said, Sell me this day thy birthright.
And Esau said, Behold, I am at the point to die: and what profits shall this birthright do me?
And Jacob said, Swear to me this day; and he sware unto him: and he sold his birthright unto Jacob.

It was an all-out attack on political rights not seen since Joseph McCarthy era. Yet, this time, it was inspired not by Republicans but by Democrats and their liberal allies.
