A Burlington man who has brought joy to families for some 30 years with an elaborate Christmas light display at his home has died in a fall from the roof. It is said that Doug Musson, 83, fell while trying to fix a leak that was affecting the display. A statement on the family website celebrating the lights said Mr. Musson was “up on a ladder trying to find out why water was dripping on the pathway which might drip on visitors to the display when the ladder fell.” The statement said Musson died in hospital on Monday. “Our family is devastated. I debated even turning on the lights but decided he would want them on and he worked hard on making all of the displays,” said the statement from one of his children. A GoFundMe page has been set up for the family and as of Wednesday morning had raised $9,835, already past its goal of $5,000 goal. Burlington residents pay tribute online to Doug Musson
