Thomas Burns Obituary

Dear Burns Family (Ireland and USA),

Our deepest sympathy and prayers to all. We were honored to have known Tom for so many years. We were happy that we had his company at a recent party. Thanks for all the Masses and prayers through the years. He was a very kind and thoughtful man. We will miss him.

To all the Burns Family, Chicago and Glascloune, Doonbeg, Co. Clare.
I recently heard of Tom death. My deepest sympathy to you all. I was his Godchild and only have memories of my Dad talking about him when he left for Chicago many years ago. I met him in Chicago in the early 1960's and have some pictures to remember that meeting. Again my sympathy to you all.

Tom:
I have the greatest memories of your visits to our home. My mother, father, Uncle Larry and you made our kitchen a very warm place. Thanks for tending my parents graves all these years.
"Well done, good and faithful servant" Matthew 25:23

Sincere sympathy, so glad we had the chance to see you while we were in Chicago. You were a wonderful friend.

Dear Mr. Burns,

I was shocked and saddened when I heard the news. You were a very rightous man. We love you and appreciate every thing you have ever done for us. We will never forget you. Thanks for 17 wonderful years.

Dear Tom-
You have been a part of our family my whole life and will be deeply missed. Your kindness and friendship to every one you touched is unparalleled. May God bless you and keep you.

Dear Tom,
I am glad that I got to speak to you a few weeks ago. We just missed meeting up for breakfast! You were part of my childhood memories and I wish you "God Speed".
I know Maureen and Bernie were happy to have met up with you in the past few weeks after a very long time. We will remember you in our prayers.
Rest in Peace Tom.

Dear Tom,
I will always be thankful for the effort you took in taking care of my Father's flowers at Holy Sepulchre. Your passion for gardening was a blessing to many! How proud Doonbeg (Dún Beag), Co. Clare must be to have you as a native son!! Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam.

Dear Tom
I am so glad to have spent time with you very recently which I thoroughly enjoyed. I thank God for having known you all those years - such great memories. You will be missed,

Dear Uncle Tom,

We are so happy we were able to spend time with you in recent years. You were a dear uncle and you will be greatly missed.

Dear Tom,

I feel blessed to have been with you in your final hours. You will always be in my thoughts and prayers.

Your loving sister,

I will forever remember the tales of your travels to what you referred to as "God's Country". It made me follow your travels West...to Montana to see what you loved so much about Big Sky Country. I will think of you whenever I roam the country and remember those good times talking of our traveling adventures all the while listening to and answering Police Officers on the radio and citizens on the telephones. God Speed my dear traveling friend. May this be the start of yet another great adventure.

Dear Tom

It was great to have known you for many many years. I have so many great memories of you. Thanks for all the masses over the years. You will be missed. May your soul rest in peace.

Dear Uncle Tom,

You were always there to help our mom. Thank you for all the time you gave to us while we were growing up. We truly appreciate it.

Much love,

The Lynch Kids

I feel so honored to have known Tom and consider him to be my best friend. I will never look at another flower again without thinking of him. I will miss him. He was one of a kind and truly a fine and decent gentleman. Rest in peace.

Thanks for your many years of service on the job, Tom. I remember sitting in the squad and hearing your voice as you dispatched units to assignments. You were a true gentleman.
