Burton Henry Marinus, 73

December 07, 2017

Burton Henry Marinus, 73, of Lititz, PA, passed away on December 7, 2017 at Hamilton Arms, Lancaster, PA. Born in Long Branch, NJ, he was the son of the late Burton Henry Marinus, Sr. and Charlotte Jean (Peck) Marinus. Burt was the loving husband to Helen Ann (Swain) Marinus.

A veteran, he served in the U.S. Army during Vietnam. Burt retired from a long career as a machinist in 2014. As a volunteer he served on various First Aid squads for nearly 30 years and with the New Jersey First-Aid Counsel. He was also part of the Berkeley Township Emergency Management Organization. He assisted with the Ocean County sheriff’s Department’s Air Support Squad as well.

Burt’s greatest legacy for his children and grandchildren comes from his participating in the Biogen 221AD103 study for a cure of Alzheimer’s. Burt was with the study four years and was the first in the world to be successful with the treatment which has now been fast tracked with the FDA for approval.

Surviving, in addition to his wife, Helen, are two sons: Kevin (husband of Linette, of Boyton Beach, FL) and Scott (husband of Kim, of McLean, VA); and their two grandchildren Spencer and Kaylee.

A private family service will held at 11:00 AM on Saturday, January 6, 2018 at the Charles F. Snyder, Jr. Funeral Home & Crematory, 3110 Lititz Pike, Lititz, PA 17543. Burt will be laid to rest at Rosedale Memorial Park, Linden, NJ at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, contributions in Burt’s memory may be made to Hospice For All Seasons Foundation, 280 South Hill Drive, Grantville, PA 17028.
