Not sure what to say?

Thoughts and prayers for the family. I am so sorry for your loss. May you be comforted knowing he was loved and respected by so many.

It's so sad to lose a dear friend & cousin, but it's really sad when you don't hear about that loose days later. I know things like this happen & it;s no one"s fault. I guess as we get older(a lot older) we lose touch with a lot of friends and especially relatives. Our condolences go out to all the family and we're sincerely sorry. Ernie & Janice Duncan

o Our sincere condolences to the family and friends of Eugene Burns. His fellow troopers of the 11th Armored Cavalry´s Veterans of Vietnam and Cambodia, salute our fallen brother. Eugene served courageously with I (Eye) Troop of the Regiment's 3rd Squadron in 1968 and 1969, and it was our privilege to have him in the ranks of the Legendary Blackhorse Regiment.

Our Deepest Sympathy to all the Family.

Vickie and I were sorry to read of Bookie's passing. I remember him always smiling and a pleasant person to be around. You will be missed my friend and God bless you and your family.

We mourn along with Bookie's family and many friends the loss of this gentle man who was also a decorated veteran. He will be sorely missed by us all.

Bookie was my first roommate at The Citadel, he looked out for me, it was nice to have a roommate from Charleston! He left school after our junior year- but came back and stayed in the barracks the night before we graduated in June 1967. I know he will be missed, such a beautiful family, please remember all the good times..

Much sympathy to the Burns clan, who were always extended family to the McConnells and the McCrarys in Byrnes Downs, at Live Oak Plantation and on Lake Moultrie at Bonneau. There are too many memories to recount and Bookie was a big part of all of them. What a good guy. I'll miss him.

Aunt Madeline, Marshall and Amy - our prayers are with you during this tough time. Uncle Bookie was a wonderful man and will be missed. We love y´all. Brian and Courtney Hall.
