I remember my Brother in law wanted to go to the March for life on that January it was 8° it was Freezing cold but we went. And that was worth going even if it was Freezing cold. He wanted to go. And he said thank you. It was something he would remember Doing.

Dear Aaron and Karen. Thanks so much for your kind words. I can't say Steve liked going to that dialysis clinic, but I do remember him saying the folks in the PD unit were kind to him. Thanks for all you did to ease his path in life. Please send correspondence to 11803 Highland Oaks Drive, Fredericksburg VA, 22407.

I was so saddened to hear of the death of my old friend from Christendom College and former room mate, Steve Burke. He was a fine man, a devout Catholic, a loyal son of the Church.

I will always remember his kindness and care for others. He would always go out of his way to make sure others were doing alright. And, he would surely make you laugh.
He will be missed!

May his soul and all the souls of the Faithful Departed through the mercy of God, rest in peace.

Cheers Steve!
