John Burns, 1944-2008
John Burns, Co-Founder of Rosie Robotics, Team 839 passed this morning from complications after a long, long, long, long bout of cancer. John was an educator, father, mentor and friend to many many people in Massachusetts and across the country. His impact is far reaching, far beyond just FIRST.
Many of you here on CD may not know John, he did not post anything here, but he knew you. He read CD on a regular basis. FIRST was one of his passions. His family, his students and FIRST. He said to me many times that this program has the chance of reaching so many students. He will live on in Rosie and Rosie will be his legacy.
John did things his way and they were usually right.
You may rest now John, Rosie is in good hands.
