Amazing Joe Memorial

Donation protected
My dad was the Amazing Joe Burrus, He died on Halloween night 26 years ago in 1990 out at Blackbeard's in Fresno, Ca. He was a magician who was performing a burial stunt that didn't go as planned and was crushed under dirt and concrete. He died in front of myself, my family his friends and the TV camera. His death has been hard on me, as I relive that moment quite often. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think of him. The worst part, he died when I was 13 so I didn't have a say so on his funeral, his personal property, nothing. He was creamated, but to this day, there isn't a place where I can go to mourn him, to talk to him, or to be alone with him. I'm trying to raise money for a memorial out at the site he died, Blackbeards. This can be a plaque, a stone, a bench, a statue, something in his honor. There is nothing worse than losing a loved one, it's even more terrible when you watch that loved one die. Please help and donate for this great cause. Whether it's 1.00, or 100.00, anything helps and is appriciated. Thanks.
