Funny after all these years not noticing information which has presumably been on Wiki for ages. That is (Mars orbiting asteroid) "7345 Happer" was named after him in 1992! Clearly the astronomer Robert McNaught who named it is a fan.

I wonder if Burt was aware of it. Probably not.
It was discovered on 28 July 1992 so next Thursday it'll be 19.
Maybe we should sing Happer Birthday dear 7345.
