It is with sadness that the family of the late Emerson Harold Burton announces his passing at the Central Newfoundland Regional Health Centre, Grand Falls-Windsor, NL, aged 80 years.

Emerson's infectious smile was a welcome sight to all who entered the doors of B & W Meat Market; it told a story of love and laughter.  His warm heart and kindness went deep beyond the boundaries of his family and friends but to all he encountered along his life's journey.  The bounties of his life could be measured in a simple phrase; be kind to those you meet along the way as you never know what life has in store.  As written on the tailgate of the shop's truck... Until we "Meat" Again...

Emerson leaves to mourn his wife, Geraldine; sons, Larry (Shelly), & Jeffery; daughter, Lisa (Vince)Dawe; grandchildren, Mark, Stephanie, Sydney, Liam, Jacob, & Tara; great-grandchildren, Brooklyn, Morgan; sisters, Ellen Burton, Mae (Nelson) Coffin, & Clara White; as well as many nieces, nephews, relatives and Friends.

Emerson is predeceased by his parents, Edgar & Louisa Burton; siblings, Gladys, Nina, Olive, Cyril & Harvey.

Cremation has taken place.

In keeping with the COVID-19 regulations there will be no pubic visitation or funeral service.  All services will remain private for family only.

Funeral arrangements entrusted to Sunset Memorial Funeral Home, 10 Bayley Street, Grand Falls-Windsor, NL.
