A 1983 review of a recital at the Corcoran Gallery, which she accompanied, The Washington Post noted: "Her delicate treatment of the Bach and Handel was quite lovely, and her colorful, controlled playing added a special dimension to the recital."

Ms. Burchedean enlisted in the Army in 1974 and served for the next 24 years with the U.S. Army Band stationed at Fort Myer.

She had numerous classical and jazz recitals and public performances at Washington venues, including the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, Strathmore Hall, Corcoran Gallery and Blues Alley.

A 2001 article on JazzReview.com said she "plays a powerful piano, and her stylings are terrific! It would be nice to see what she could do with a solo CD!"

She was a member of Westmoreland Congregational Church, where she served on the board of Christian education and taught Sunday school. She enjoyed traveling with her family and loved the mountains in Alta, Utah, where the family skied in the winter and hiked in the summer.

John never met a stranger, and loved to share his many interests and ideas with those he met. He loved nature, and nearly became one with the wildlife that shared his beautiful property. He was fascinated with both science and cosmic theories and felt strongly that the earth was ours to protect, to share and to love. He never failed to get excited when the International Space Station tracked overhead on a clear, starry night, or he sighted a rare bird whose incredible wingspan was marked on the freshly fallen snow.

On January 17, 2017, with family at his side, John stepped into the spiritual oneness not of this world. He is survived by his love and best friend of 17 years, Jacky Warburton; his two sons, John F. Butzer III and Samuel T. Butzer (Rachael & children Ryan, Jayden, & Jordan); friend and mother of his children Laura Butzer; 11 brothers and sisters (Karen, Bindy, Cymp, Lisa, Bart, Liz, Jane, Joe, Andy, Christopher, and Al); Jacky's children (Susan, Stephanie & Mark); and many nieces, nephews, friends and extended family who loved him. John was preceded in death by his parents.

Travel smooth and swift my brother "I will see you soon on the banks of the Cobb, fireflies will light our path and we will run through the warm shallow waters like we did as children" Al Butzer

At 11:46 p.m. on January 21, 1973, an EKA-3B carrying pilot LCDR Charles L. Parker Jr., copilot/navigator LTJG Keith A. Christophersen, and electronic technician AT2 Richard D. Wiehr, was preparing to launch from the USS Ranger on a night catapult launch.

After having made a normal catapult attachment and pre-launch inspection, the catapult stroke appeared to start off normally. After about 1/3 of the launch stroke, a loud explosion was heard and the aircraft was seen to pitch nose down and sparks started to come from the right engine.

The aircraft began to decelerate and ran off the end of the angle deck at a very low speed, falling over the side of the ship into the Gulf of Tonkin. An immediate search and rescue effort was begun, but the aircraft sank very quickly and none of the crew could be recovered. The three Americans were classified Killed/Body Not Recovered.
