To Judie and the entire Bourk clan- you have my deepest sympathy, Jim will be greatly missed.
No matter how he was doing, whenever I walked by he had asked how I was doing and listened to whatever story I had to tell. He would always say hi to whichever dog I had with me(I think Marley was his favorite).
Jim was a kind and gentle soul.
Your neighbor, Erin McCoy

"Uncle Jim" as my boys lovingly called him was such a beautiful soul. He was always ready to volunteer as we worked to do another fundraiser at St Rose. He was always someone we could depend on to give you answers or point you in the right way. Jim always had time for you. He was always smiling and made your day so much better. I feel blessed to have known Jim and he is definitely an example of a life well lived. Our sympathies to Judy and the family. We won´t be able to attend his services because we now live in St Louis but know that our thoughts and prayers are with the family. May God bless all of you with peace.
