We just want you all to know that our hearts are heavy. Please keep in touch with us. We have had so much fun growing up with you all over the years. I am glad to know we have two wonderful guardian angles looking down on us now. Love to all of you!
Knowing Sam at BKB was a once in a lifetime kind of experience as we all understand. What a life -- lived to the brim!!!
Tom, our sympathies to you and your family. Conall, Aidan and Michelle
I am one of Sam's Colleagues in both the AG's office at the start of our legal careers and in the Public Defender's Office. Sam was always a pleasure to work with and cared very deeply about justice for all thru his entire legal career. We developed a friendship that extended past the courtroom and Sam was a funloving but caring guy who raised a great Family. A true joy to be with Sam.....whenever, wherever.........I shall miss him.........May Peace be with the Burke Family
Tom, your family is on my heart and in my prayers.
