Found this on the front page of our newspaper last week about Bob Burton. If you'll remember, he passed away a few weeks ago and was the author of The Chicken Crossed the Road.
Thought you would enjoy reading this:
Bob received the Don Gabriel Kingdom Builder Award posthumously.
"The award is given annually to a person who demonstrates a servant's heart as a servant leader, who lives by Christian principles in all situations without compromise and who lives by a vision and mission which includes praying for and working for God's perfect will to be accomplished in Ozark Mountain Country.
This year's winner is Bob Burton. Past award recipient Larry Van Gilder said Burton led a dynamic and Christian life. Burton was selected as the winner just before he died. He was considered a man of God.
'He always made time for others who were hurting,' Van Gilder said. 'He was the superhero of the community.'
Burton spent 30 years at Silver Dollar City and was the author of 'Will the Real Christians Please Stand Up,' something Van Gilder said people should take away from the prayer breakfast today.
Burton also has another book coming out soon. Burton's daughters accepted the award on behalf of the family. Van Gilder said 'He's missed tremendously. His legacy will come through family and the people he touched."
