Burk was a gem, always smiling. He cheered me up every time I saw him. When I think of him, I always see his smile. I will carry that with me for my whole life. His showbiz and burlesque family will miss him greatly. Goodbye friend.

Dear friends, my heart aches for you all. Burk had such a light surrounding him and that impish, infectious smile always warmed my heart. He had found his niche in the entertainment world and it was so fun to watch him perform and make people laugh! RIP, funny man. You are very missed.

There are very few people in this world who bring a smile to someone's face just by the mention of their name or a memory of an experience. Burke made everyone smile. We were honored to know him.
May His Memory Be A Blessing.

I am not sure it Burk ever knew how much of a impact on so many lives. I was absolutely blessed to have known him and had him as a friend. I have been reflecting on the times we worked at the Hazel Dell Cinemas. He always made me laugh. I am glad that I ran into him two weeks ago and had a quick chat. Just sad that is the last time I will be able to talk with him. You are greatly missed Burk. Thank you for your friendship.

Man is forced to be alone by the very nature of society. but, if you meet a person who is not envious, who loves and believes in other than himself, then to this rare person offer a lifetime of friendship. The world is warmer because of Burk.
