Would like to send my thoughts and prayers to each and every family member. I use to clean Mr.Clark's river house at Sun Springs and he was always a thoughtful and sincere person. Will continue to keep you all in my thoughts as you have your time to grieve, don't always have tears of sorrow but tears of fond memories of him. Happy thoughts and laughter are always good to look back on. Never forget him as he will always be with you in spirit. May God Bless each and everyone of you. I feel honored to have met him.

Dear Faith and Family, I was so sorry to hear the sad news about Burk. I send many good thoughts and prayers your way.
I remember when I met Burk, he was preparing Croutons for dinner and he shared how easy it was. A Southern man in the kitchen!! Unique.
You have our deepest and sincere sympathy.

My Uncle Burk was one of those precious few people you just had to love. He always had a warm and friendly way about him that I cherished and will miss the most. He had a charming smile and a light, cheerful wit that made it easy to call him a friend. Uncle Burk has always been one of the coolest people I've ever known and someone we should all aspire to be more like. Even though I feel my words could never fully describe the man I admired, I just wanted to leave a tribute to a man with great spirit, my favorite Uncle...my Unlce Burk. Goodbye and Godspeed
