After his marriage to Florence May Johnson, his wife gave him an ultimatum: her or the airplane. He stopped flying.
Mr. Burrows enjoyed figure skating, fishing, archery, bowhunting, target shooting, swimming, basketball and table tennis.
He was on an ice hockey team that was destined for the 1940 Winter Olympics in Sapporo, Japan. Those Olympics were called off because of the war.
He built a step hydroplane and was a former crew member on the White Cloud, a racing sailboat out of Baltimore. He was also an avid tenpin bowler and competed in the Drug Trade League.
A Mason, he belonged to the Shriners and was a member of the Waverly Lodge and the Boumi Temple Harem; he marched in parades in an elaborately feathered costume.
During his retirement, Mr. Burrows did woodworking projects that he gave to family and friends.
Services will be at 11 a.m. tomorrow at St. Timothy's Lutheran Church, 100 E. Timonium Road, Timonium, where he was a longtime member.
Survivors include another son, David Burrows of Baltimore; a daughter, Linda Costa of Sweet Air in Baltimore County; a brother, Robert Burrows of Hudson, Ohio; and six grandchildren. His wife of 58 years died this year.
