James Edington Burger

I just heard of Jim's death while attending our 45th high school reunion. The news took my breath away. I am stunned and saddened. Jim and I were often in the same classes growing up. He was one of the brilliant minds to come out of Richland, Washington. He was such a kind boy growing up. I remember Jim and his sister, Ginny, drove from Seattle to Richland to attend my mother's funeral in 2009. Our mothers had been friends and Ginny was a friend of my brother. Jim. I was so touched by their...

Just discovered that James is gone. It is so sad and shocking news for me who have known him in Riga and have worked on the design of his spectral imaging projects with him. My biggest condoleances. My discovery happens several years after his sudden and unexpected death and my condeleances are very and deeply sincere. I really liked James who was not only a client but first a friend and a great human! May his legacy survives him! His professional and also his kind at heart one! I remember he...

Please take to heart what Jesus tells us at Matthew 11:27,28 "All things have been handed over to me by my Father "_ _ _ "Come to me, all you who are _ _ loaded down and I will refresh you. YES , we find strength through him.

Dear Burger Family, I just found about about Jim's passing. I send my fondest thoughts to all of you. Jim and I had Skyped several times over the past several years. I will miss his humor and caring attitude. Kathy Osborne Spirtes

We will always remember Jim's cerebral, thoughtful and playful company as part of the UW Haggett crowd. He was a reliable devotee of The Who and kept in touch with us as he shaped entrepreneurial ventures around the world. Jim left us far too soon, but his legacy will live on through his family and the people he mentored along his interesting journey. Sorry we won't be there in person to celebrate his life!

I will remember Jim as a great guy with a good sense of humor who always was willing to help someone out. We attended the University of Washington together and if it wasn't for Jim I probably wouldn't have passed my photography course. I will always be thankful for Jim's kindness.

We had a lot of good memories from McCarty and Haggett Hall. Thanks for bringing me in on the Greenlake house, those were really good years.

Did Jim go to Ballard High School?
