Nelson Kuperberg and Dr. David Giffler now live in Arizona but they were close, warm friends of both Lillian and Don Burry for many years. Their historic home in Freehold as well as the Burry home in Colts Neck were two beautiful homes where these friends shared many afternoons and evenings, David wrote the following from both him and Nelson. Upon the death of Lillian G. Burry August 28.
There aren’t many people in our lives aside from immediate family whose memory will burn brightly after they’re gone. Our dear friend Lillian Burry is one of the few. We first met Lillian after I became chair of the Freehold Borough Republican Committee and began to attend county events.
Here was a woman obviously prominent and influential who took the time to introduce herself and make myself and my husband comfortable and welcomed. From that point on, Lillian and Don developed a lasting friendship with the two of us that included invitations to each other’s homes as well as regular meals at Huddy’s.
We loved the summer barbecues with her family and happily supported her during her many successful political campaigns. We didn’t always agree on each and every political issue but respected each other enough to never let it interfere with our friendship. Nelson and I will miss the many laughs and great times that we shared.
Our heartfelt condolences go out to our dear friend Don as well Lenore, Alba and the rest of the family. Rest in peace Lillian.
