Not sure what to say?

Jane & family. I was very sorry to hear that Bobby had past. I had so many great memories of times that we shared. I so remember the 10 hour ride we share in April of 1968 when we rode with my roommate Wade Ruff back to New Jersey. There were so many times in life that our paths crossed but rest ashore that Bob made an impact on my life and that my life is so much fuller in that I came in contact with Bob Burke.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. He will be missed!

Great memories of Bob as we spent many hours in the Midland Luncheonette on Staten Island talking all sports. Basketball was his thing and he went on to prove his expertise on the court as a player and his ability to teach and coach others.
RIP Bob.
