Burnice proudly served in the US Army during the Korean War, receiving the Combat Infantry Badge, Army of Occupation Medal J and the Korean Service medal with one Bronze Service Star. After his service, he moved to Miami, Florida working in the South Florida Dairy where he met the love of his life, Vondell.

After retirement he worked as a jailer for the Tattnall County Sheriff's Department for fifteen years.  Burnice and his wife were also known as the owners and operators of Tatum's Corner Store for many years.
