Charles L. Burt

Charles Linn Burt, 91, of Bellevue, died peacefully on Tuesday, May 15, 2018, surrounded by family at home.  He was born May 23, 1926 in Lansing to Lloyd and Margaret (Parish) Burt. He proudly served during World War II, and when he returned he married his sweetheart, Leone Stetler.  His family fondly remembers him as a wonderful husband, an awesome father, and a terrific provider. Charles loved going for car rides, garage sales, and he loved to gamble. He enjoyed family camping trips around the state, being in the yard and watching birds, and he was a Detroit Tigers and NASCAR fan. Charles worked at the AE Hoover Factory, retiring in 1988.  He was always smiling, and full of life, and was a helping hand to many.

Charles is survived by his children, Randy (Valerie) Burt, Sheila (Charles) Youngs, Marsha Hayes, and Jeff (Linda) Burt; 10 grandchildren; 18 great-grandchildren; three great great-grandchildren; and sister-in-law, Jeane Burt.

He was predeceased by his wife, Leone; son, Dale Burt; grandson, Adam Burt; and brothers, Glen and Leo Burt.
