Burton was born in Wallingford on July 1, 1922, son of the late Roman and Violet Dembiczak Marczewski. He lived in Wallingford and Seymour, CT during his childhood, and later served in the US Army as a Private First Class in Company I, 119th Infantry, from 1942 to 1945. He saw action in Belgium and France, where he was wounded on July 12, 1944 and received the Purple Heart. After his discharge from service he worked at the H.L. Judd Company on S.

After also working at Pratt & Whitney in North Haven, CT, he worked for 33 years at Allegheny Ludlum Steel in Wallingford until he retired as a Gas Tender in 1986. Shortly afterward he and Olga moved to Florida, where they spent many of their retirement years, returning to the northeast in 2004. Burton recently settled into the St. Patrick�s Manor nursing home in Framingham very close to where Olga lives and near his son and his family.
