I have been one of Toms customers for 30 years and only knew Tom from the counter at his business. He was truly most helpful and I will miss not seeing him there, and having someone to ask all my dumb questions. Sometimes we would have a conversation if there was no line of customers. We both belonged to the same parish. The rest of us have one less good man. I will miss him.

We are saddened to learn of Tom's passing. We remember him fondly with a friendship that has spanned many, many years both in business and personally. Our sincere sympathies to the entire Burke family.

To all the Burkes,
Tom will be missed by all that knew him. He was a special man who would do anything for anyone. Always wanting to help everybody out. He did alot for me and I will never forget him. I wish I could have seen him before he went to the party up above! I was gonna tell him to save us all a seat for one day when we will all join him. God Bless.
Love Mary Adair
