Burrows, 80, a Genoa native who proudly became a Chief Petty Officer in the U.S. Coast Guard, died Saturday, May 30, 2009, in Genoa at Looking Glass Estates, an assisted living residence. His memorial service with military honors and burial will take place 10 a.m. Friday in Genoa at Valley View Cemetery, which is on Park Street about one mile south of the high school. Mr. Burrows ended his 20-year military career, during which he was stationed primarily in New York City, with his retirement from the Coast Guard in August 1970. He then moved his family to Columbus from Bloomsburg, Pa. He lived in Columbus nearly 39 years before returning to Genoa this spring. Known as Bob Burrows, he was born Feb. 8, 1929. He graduated in 1946 from Genoa High School and was a lineman on the Orioles' undefeated football team in his senior year. He enlisted in the Armed Forces in 1950, choosing the Coast Guard as a career. Mr. Burrows and his wife Theresa raised five sons, four of whom graduated from Columbus High School. His employment in Columbus included many years working with, and for, the mentally handicapped at the regional center near Agricultural Park. He was an extraordinarily hardworker who always made sure his family was well taken care of. Mr. Burrows loved his family and many friends, his country, his military service and his work with the mentally handicapped. He also loved fishing and the Nebraska Cornhuskers. He earned a Nebraska Master Angler award in 1996 for catching a whopper of a catfish.
