James Champlin Burbank

My condolences to Jim’s family. I met Jim when I came to work at EB in ‘79. He was a joy to be around.

Dearest Burbank Family, another great ship has launched, indeed! Working together at EB, and both fellow sailors, my father, Vic Burdick, held your Dad in high regard, and spoke of him with clear admiration. The nut did not fall far from the tree with his laser wit, humor, and generosity, as our life has been blessed with a wonderful friendship with his first-born, Lee. Jim’s impeccable, ethical legacy is the finest example to all of us in these tricky times. Thank God for him, God bless you...

Jim was the consummate administrator/ teacher. Knowledgeable, patient, ethical. He will be missed by many, especially me. May he rest in peace.

Leland, Scott, Bettina and children,
We were saddened to learn of "Gandpa" Jim's passing, he was one of a kind and a wonderful neighbor. Terry once told me she hit the in-law lottery when she married Scott. We hit the neighbor lottery when we moved to Mystic 20 years ago and landed next to Lee & Jim. Happy memories that we will carry for the rest of our lives.

To Jim's Family - Sorry for your great loss. Jim was the nicest person, and a true gentleman! I have such fond memories of working with him at EB, and how he gave flowers to the ladies in the Word Processing Center at his retirement party. He was truly one of a kind and this world will greatly miss him. My thoughts are with you during this difficult time. You were fortunate to call him Dad and/or GrandPa, and I was fortunate to have known him too.

Terry & Scott - Boris and I wish to extend our sympathies, so very sorry for your loss. James achieved many great things and has left a legacy of core life/family values in many life’s he has touched, especially those grandkids :).

Extending peace and love as the days, weeks and months pass; grief is the price of having loved deeply. Happy memories will prevail.

With much love, Alice & Boris Braylyan
