Thomas J. Burke Jr.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Rose and Tom's family. We will miss not seeing Tom sitting outside the house and chatting with him about politics and sports. Rest in peace, Tom.

A sailor has passed away today. Thomas, you are now relieved from your watch. A job well done fellow navy veteran. America thanks you for your service to our country in the defense of freedom. The final volley has sounded and taps is about to sound ending a successful career as a nation´s defender. Smooth sailing shipmate.

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of God, family and friends. Please find comfort in the words found at Isaiah 61:1,2.
