My dad and I had a strong bond when it came to anything athletic or sports related. He would always try to make me the best that i can be when it came to sports and outside of sports. I remember we would always be in the backyard in our batting cage for hours hitting away while I was playing softball. He was my #1 fan. The second picture is of him teaching me how to surf I remember me being so frustrated of not getting it and him calming me down telling me that I will get it and to not stress out about it and eventually i got up and was riding the wave like it was nothing! The wave was nothing like the waves he would ride though

Brittany, Emily, Paul Burke here-(your dad's oldest brother) Your dad and I had lunch together in St. Charles IL in 2014 when he as in the Chicago suburbs for business. We had a brief but meaningful time of supping together. I wish I had taken more initiative to keep in touch with your dad in the years following. I could barely believe my ears when I received the news from sister Beverly last week. I am praying God's mercy be extended especially in this time of loss for you, your mom, Julian as well to your dad's friends.
