I'll miss you Pop. I have to say, I couldn't be more honored than to have been named after you.
I know that I shall meet my fate
Somewhere among the clouds above;
Those that I fight I do not hate
Those that I guard I do not love;
My country is Kiltartan Cross,
My countrymen Kiltartan's poor,
No likely end could bring them loss
Or leave them happier than before.
Nor law, nor duty bade me fight,
Nor public men, nor cheering crowds,
A lonely impulse of delight
Drove to this tumult in the clouds;
I balanced all, brought all to mind,
The years to come seemed waste of breath,
A waste of breath the years behind
In balance with this life, this death.
-W.B. Yeats

Memories of my grandfather are always of him talking about the war and his old days with aaaallll those kids playing rag tag in that big house, them lining up in the butlers pantry for the whoopins he swore he never gave.Alot of kids tell stories about how their grandpops walked 6 miles uphill in 6 feet of snow to get to school but I can say mine was a hero in the war flying and landing planes in the ocean. I know alot of people would never do that. Ill miss you grandpop and youll be in my thoughts always. Love you always and forever.

My memory of Mr.Burke was the story about the "hairy peas" that I had heard so many times and it always made me laugh.
When I would come up to visit he would always look at Bob and ask "Who's your girlfriend?" because of my long hair.
Mr. Burke was a good man who dedicated his life to serving his country and raising some of the best people I know. He will be missed.
My deepest condolances to the Burke family.
Gator
