To The Gerdon Sisters,

Your brother, Tommy, was a good friend of my father, Barry Burke, and generous to my family who owns a farm down the road. He helped us pull a tractor out of a boggy meadow several years ago, and let my nephew take an ATV ride up on the hill one summer.

It's sad to know that another one of his farming generation is gone.

It's with sadness that another one of his generation of farmers on McKinley Avenue is gone.
