Burton J. Schrenkeisen, 64, passed away peacefully at his home on Sunday, September 21st. Born January 18, 1950 in Hudson, NY, he was the son of the late Raymond and Dorothy Schrenkeisen of East Chatham, NY. A graduate of the Chatham High School Class of 1968, Burt pursued his passion for carpentry for 41 years. He worked for R.C. Snow Contracting and R.F. Rudat Construction, among others. He went on to establish Schrenkeisen Construction. Nothing gave Burt (nicknamed Joe Bob by his fellow carpenters) more pleasure than to know every job he completed was a part of his life. His hearty laugh and genuine personality will be greatly missed. Burt was also an avid hunter and fisherman, and he always looked forward to the start of a new season. Burt is survived by his fiancee, Sandra Fila, and his "Little One", Sarah Hanlon, of Canaan, NY. He is also survived by brothers Raymond Schrenkeisen of Nassau, NY, and Robert (Lisa) Schrenkeisen of Dade City, FL. He is predeceased by his sister, Claire Schrenkeisen.   Calling hours will be held on Friday, September 26, from 7-9 PM at the French, Gifford, Preiter, & Blasl Funeral Home, 25 Railroad Ave, Chatham, NY, 12037.   In lieu of flowers, it is Burt's wish for donations to be sent in his memory to the Canaan Fire Department, P.O. Box 207, Canaan, NY 12029. To convey an online condolence visit frenchblasl.com
