SORROW page 3
Burt had just turned 6. One day
he came home with a dog, a beau-
tiful collie, and he told me, 'Moth-
er, it just followed me home.' Burt
took care of him all night, he fed
him and gave him a place to sleep,
but I told him the dog probably
belonged to someone.
'The next day (after the own-
ers contacted the family) he re-
turned the dog and came home
with a reward of $1 and a nick-
el. I said, 'Burt, a dollar and a
nickel?' And he told me, IThe
owner] put a dollar on the table,
and I said, "What about the tax?"
That was Burt."
Sometimes the Duchins' recol-
lections of their son come out in
bits and pieces.
"He could fix anything; he was
extremely mechanical," Cecilia
Duchin. says.
"He had hands of magic," her
husband adds.
"He was very active in Easter
Seals, and he was always solic-
iting his suppliers," Cecilia says.
"He hated detail work, hated
it, but he liked being outside."
"He was such a giving person."
Then George Duchin is silent.
"It's so difficult to even talk about
him."
For a time, the Duchins joined
a support group. It didn't really
help. Perhaps this is because their
agony is all the more severe as a
result of unanswered questions.
Not only have they lost their son,
they don't begin to know the rea-
son for Burt's death.
'Why did this happen?" George
Duchin asks. "If at least we could
find the person [who killed him],
maybe that would lay some of this
to rest."
The Duchins recently compiled
a list of former employees at Per-
ry Warehouse Furniture from the
past 10 years. They turned the
list over to the police. Perhaps one
of them was the mysterious fig-
ure with the gun, or will know
something.
George Duchin doesn't believe
a disgruntled customer murdered
his son. But he is certain of one
fact: Burt knew his killer.
When Burt was discovered he
was sitting in a chair, the tele-
phone receiver still in his hand
(police have never been able to
learn to whom he was speaking
at the time). "If that was a
stranger, Burt would have gotten
up and greeted him," Mr. Duchin
says. "He was shot, point-blank.
He couldn't even defend himself
The last thing he ever saw was
a gun in his face."
Burt Duchin left behind not
only his parents but three broth-
ers and a son, now 1 1/2. Cecilia
Duchin has prepared a scrapbook,
chronicling Burt's life and death,
for her grandson.
"Last night, we took it out and
looked through it," George says
wistfully. "It's heartbreaking. I
hope this never, ever happens to
anybody else." ❑
Anyone with information
on the case should call Det.
