Burton was born Nov. 11, 1930, in Bronx, N.Y., to Esther and Nathan Jacobs. He attended City College in Brooklyn, N.Y., and received a bachelor’s degree and then went on to graduate from Brooklyn Law School in 1957. He then married the love of his life Phyllis Frances Bank. Burton started his love of practicing law and then opened his own practice and was known for real estate law. He retired from being an attorney in 1981 and enjoyed traveling with his wife to Paris, France, Spain and England, to name a few. He had a love of antiques and art. He loved to play golf, tennis and of course Scotch. However, his greatest sense of pride was his wife, children and grandchildren, and their accomplishments. He was a very involved Dad and Pop Pop. He was also a veteran of the Korean War.
