Not sure what to say?

Mr Charles Burke was a down to earth man. I talked to him on occasion when I was in radio. He was so gracious and made me feel special. He later came to hear a group I sang with, The Kings Prophets, at Southfork singing convention. I recorded Mr Burke helping us sing " Just a little talk with Jesus." If family reads this, I will try get you a copy. Tl White, Gastonia

May you find comfort in these times of loss, he was a great and wonderful man. Charles has served my family for years in times of loss. He is home now,he just went back Home. Today heaven is a little brighter cause Charles is there. May the Lord bless you through these times.

Donna it was a shock to hear about your dad. He was a good man. May GOD bless you Charles and keep you forever and ever.Amen

My Husband, Robert and I extend our heartfelt sympathy to Charlie Burkes's family. He was a man filled with compassion and a need to help those in need. When people spoke of his generosity and the "Love for His community", they would have a glow about them. Charlie, you will be missed. God will keep His arms around your family.

All prayers and condolences from Kenneth Beard family. You will be missed Charlie and may God comfort and bless your family during this time.

.Mr. Charlie was a giant of a man. My idea of what a christian man should behave like.
I pray God to bless all the family and people who love him

My thoughts and prayers go out to the Charles Burke family. He will be greatly missed by all of Maiden and surrounding areas. This past June, my foster dad of 33 years, Gary Parker, died. Only a few days before that, Gary's dad and mother(Cecil and Mossie Parker)died. And then Gary's uncle passed. Burke Mortuary was very busy! The one thing, though, that will always be in my mind when I hear anything about Charles Burke is this: In October 1989, our baby daughter, Amber Elizabeth, died, after...

Charles was a great man. He helped out my family. When my father-in-law died he gave us the money to go out of state. Ron had said we could not go because of the money. Charles stepped in and gave it to us. Later my father died and he was there again. He asked if we needed anything and if he could do anything. We told him prayers. He did that he said. Every time we saw him he would ask about the family. We will miss you Charles. Your family is in my prayers.

Charles Burke was one of the most wonderful men I have ever known.He was a true inspiration for life.He took care of a number of my family members that passed.A true giant of a man... with a wonderful ability to sing,he will surely be missed.
