I remember when you passed, I was working that day. And I remember they had a city park named after you. But where did it go. Today I stopped by the shiny new OPD HQ on OBT and found a memorial dedicated to you in the OPD lobby. A motorcycle #1209 and a sign from the city park are in the lobby. I wish they would add a picture of your serious mustache game you had going. Smooth roads and beautiful sunsets to you Officer Burson. Thanks for being a guardian of Orlando.
