Condolences
The family of Thomas J. Burkhard has received the following condolences.
I go to Resurrection, and I saw Tom many times at 8:30 Mass. I had great respect for him and his work at Resurrection. He was always good to for a visit through the years, and I never heard him complain. I can't say that about many people I've known, including myself, but it was always true in my experience with Tom. You have my sympathy.
Sincerely,
Bill Kleis
Our deepest condolences to the family from your "long ago neighbors" on Pinewood Rd, "across the back yard". Tom Jr. went to school with Chris. You are in our thoughts.
Norine and Tom Robinson
I had the pleasure of working with Tom at Resurrection Church for 14 years. He was our "go to" man whenever we needed repairs or help with projects. Tom was always upbeat and had a great sense of humor. He was also a faith filled man whose faith in Jesus showed in how he treated others. I will miss him and know that this Christmas he is rejoicing with Jesus today.
We're sorry for your loss. Our thoughts are with you. Steve and Trish Stensrud
