Jim, the fisherman!

December 28, 2013

Our hearts ache for the entire Burke family in the loss of our cousin, Jim. 

When I think of Jim, the image of a little kid bobbing in the waves of the Cape Cod shoreline on a warm summer day comes to mind. He always had his diver's mask on and all you could see were his feet splashing on the surface as he dove continually in the water hunting for "puffers"! He would call out to all of us on the shore, "Look, come look, I got one"! We'd all run down to the water's edge and admire Jim's catch. We would watch the fish puff up and then Jim would throw the puffer back and resume another hunt. His enthusiam always made us smile. It is this same enthusiam and love of life that will carry his memory on in our hearts.

I'd like to think that Jim has now gone off on another fishing trip, only now, it is on the" high seas of heaven". Forever missed, forever loved.
