Memories and Condolences
for Thomas Burke
January 16, 2019
I'm very devastated right now. I have had Tom on my mind for a while. Tom helped me back in 2001 with a legal matter and I will forever be grateful for him. Sorry to the family this is a great loss. My family and I will truly miss Tom. We love you!

Tom was always upbeat, always amused by some current news, or the world at large, his humor tempered by skepticism. Generous with his time, and always practical in his advice. A great guy who will be greatly missed.

You have my sympathies and prayers of comfort for your family. I can still hear Tom and my dad's (his cousin, Phil's) voices just relaxing and talking about the good old days. Most of my earliest memories of family events include Tom, Gary, and Rick.
May God's peace bring you comfort in the days ahead with your own memories of your dad.

My deepest sympathy to the entire family.
Tom was great guy, and great fun to be around.
We had great times at the casino , I'm sure he's enjoying the great poker machine up there.
We'll miss seeing you walk through the salon,Tom.
