Curmudgeonly but caring

Conifer’s favorite curmudgeon has passed away, taking with him a talent for keeping everyone from politicians to those working on environmental causes on their toes.

Richard W. “Dick” Burrows died at his home on Oct. 25. He was 81.

The name Dick Burrows graced many a message and voice-mail left for Jefferson County government officials, recreation center proponents, real estate agents and developers.
