Ever wondered about the man behind the comedian? Robert Edmund Burr, DDS, the father of the acerbic and hilarious Bill Burr, is more than just a footnote in his son's success story. He is a figure in his own right, a Korean War veteran, a dedicated dentist, and a man whose values shaped one of comedy's most recognizable voices.

While Bill Burr's comedic rants and observational humor have propelled him to stardom, the foundation for his work ethic and perspective was laid by his father, Robert Edmund Burr. Born on March 5, 1922, in Jersey City, New Jersey, Robert Burr lived a life of service and commitment. His experiences in the Korean War undoubtedly instilled in him a resilience that he later passed on to his children. He later established himself as a dentist in Canton, Massachusetts, becoming a fixture in the local community. His dental practice, located at 510 Washington St, Canton, MA 02021, served the area for many years. He even accepted the Tufts Health Plan insurance, ensuring accessibility for many patients. Despite an average rating of 3.3 stars based on 16 patient ratings, his impact extended far beyond the confines of his practice.
