To the Owen Burger Family,

I just met Mr.Burger a couple of weeks ago at his apartment in Carol Stream. I work for the DuPage Senior Citizens Council and was delivering his Meals on Wheels. I had a couple of very nice, but short,conversations with him and in the short time I knew him he was a very likeable person and I enjoyed seeing him on my route. In fact on that very sad day I was bringing him an extra meal as one of my other clients was not home that day. I would like to extend my deepest sympathy to his family and friends.

God Bless,

Howard/Phyllis Skolak

We knew Owen, Marilyn and the children when they lived in Winfield,Il. I worked with Owen on consulting assignments and we enjoyed many fun times at their home.



We extend our deepest sympathy to the family and will remember them in our prayers.
