I was saddened to learn of the loss of Byron Burch last week, he was 75.
He was a BJCP Master Judge. In the late 1980's and early 90's he was on what would now be the BJCP board of directors. He help shape policy throughout that time and was great to work with.
Byron received the AHA Governing Committee Award in 1990.
In the AHA National Competition he was homebrewer of the year in 1986, and three time meadmaker of the year, 1992, 1994, 2001.

Very sad, indeed, Jim.
Gary Glass also had a few words to share about Byron and his influence on the beer and brewing communities:

Sorry to hear that. Byron's first edtion of 'Brewing Quality Beers' was one of my first homebrewing books. Read that thing over and over, along with Charlie P's book.
