A year has come and gone, I still miss you so much. I spent 4 days with your brother Richard ,and it was like old times, he has been a comfort to me and I to him. Gary called today, and he thinks often of you while driving your red truck. 

I was a lot younger than Billy and probably don't have as many memories as my sisters. However, there was a time in the late 80's when my sisters and brother and I would be going out, the Black Rose in Faneuil Hall Boston comes to mind. Any way, we would be walking down the street and out of no where Billy would seem to just appear! It was cool because we seemed to spend a lot of fun times together with him around that time. My other memory is that he could pass as a dead ringer for Joe Nemeth!! I will keep Billy and his dear sister Denise in my thoughts and prayers. Rest in Peace Billy, you will be missed.

Billy Burke was my first cousin. His father was my uncle Ray a WWII veteran. Billy was a master electrician. I enjoyed discussing electrical techniques with Billy. We will all miss him but know he is in a better place. Our deepest condolences to Billy's family. God Bless, Paula, Johnathan and Stephen Burke

Rest in peace, Billy.  May God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit bless you and keep you in loving care always.

Rest in Peace my brother. Thank you for your friendship and love for 62 years.       Ill miss your common sense advice. Ill miss your always scheming ways to show those you love their specialness.  I was lucky to be 
your  friend. Love you man. God Bless You.

Billy, I will always cherish the memories and fun times we all had together at the camp in New Hampshire.  I will always remember visiting you, Uncle Ray,  Aunt Kay, and Denise on Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter and other times during the year.  ❤️
Dear Denise, Dawn, and Buddy, I am deeply sorry for your loss of Billy.  Please know my thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.
 I know, in time, your memories will give you comfort and bring you peace. You are all in my prayers. 
Billy, we love you and will miss you very much. ❤️

Dear Denise , 
We all grew up knowing one another as kids. Mum and dad always stopped by your house so we could all visit with each other. Billy always has a smile and something funny to say. I remember how much he loved The Beatles and Pink Floyd and how cool he thought his Tr 6 was, and it was really cool !! He was proud of his skill as a licensed electrician and I remember how proud your dad was of this accomplishment. Billy had an adventurous nature, loved being outside and sharing fun times up the “Camp.” Let’s remember our dear cousin as someone who made others smile and had a kind and generous spirit, I think that’s what Billy would want. May God embrace his soul and may he rest with the angels until we meet again. 

It is with a heavy heart to have lost my dear Uncle. I am grateful for the memory of Boston Bill giving me away at my wedding. When asked by the pastor "Who gives gives this woman away"? His response waas "Her Uncle does and it"s my honor". I was my honor to have such a wonderful and giving Uncle.  Love and miss always, Dawn and Jason Greene

I am saddened her here of Billy passing. To his sister Denise and all his family my sincere condolences. Billy was the best man in my wedding to Richard Ditullio in 1975 back home in MA. He always had a smile or a joke up his sleeve.  He will be missed by those who loved him. He is one of the angels now with loved ones on the other side and his puppy Truman. He is at peace.

Dear  Billy, I miss you so very much.  I miss your infectious laugh and how you made others happy.  I admired you being an electrician and extraordinary carpenter....... your cousins Kelly Ann and Richard thought highly of you...your late “ Aunt Mazie also loved you very much  and would always tell her friends about you. We will meet again in heaven. (Aunt mazies picture)      Love maryanne
