I only learned of Jim's death today. I went to University Park elementary school from fourth through sixth grade with him in Fairbanks, Alaska, from 1965-1967 and he was my best friend at that time. We spent considerable time together before, during, and after school. I remember his father was pastor at University Baptist down the street from the school and his family lived right by the church. When his family went to Bismarck, it left a big void for me. We exchanged letters for some time and also first day covers which we both collected. I still have some with his handwritten name and address. Eventually as often happened in days before the internet, we grew up and apart. I still thought of him from time to time and occasionally looked for him without success. I'm really sorry I didn't find him until now after his death, but it makes me feel good to see what a remarkable life and wonderful family he turned out to have. Interestingly, we both earned math degrees! I still have school photos and one of the sixth grade basketball team with Jim if anyone in the family would be interested in them. I remember him with great fondness even 50 years later and wish I had gotten to know him again. My condolences to the family.

Our deepest sympathy to Dr. Burdine's family. My husband, John, and I are so very thankful to him for his expertise and medical knowledge. Back in 2010, Dr. Burdine performed emergency triple bypass surgery on John at St. Vincent Hospital. There were complications with his heart and it was functioning at only 20%. Dr. Burdine would not give up. He tried all the latest and greatest medical treatments and then John made a remarkable recovery and was able to go into a rehab for further healing. We owe our good fortune to Jim Burdine and his staff at St. Vincent Hospital. He was a Genius in his profession. Rest in Peace, Dr. Burdine. God Bless his entire Family. Sincerely,

I share my condonlences with the family at this time. I am very sorry for your loss. Dealing with a loss is never easy. One thing that has helped many is the promise God makes to us all. Soon God is going to wipe out death permanently and bring back all who have passed will. What an amazing future we have to look forward to.
