He is survived by his wonderful and loving wife, Barbara Burk; two daughters, Monica Burk Haydel (Ricky Bradburry) and Dawn Burk Smith (J.D.); brother, Claud Burk (Linda); two sisters, Kathy Honcoop (David) and Annette Burk (Jim) and six grandchildren, Adrienne Wilson, Madelyn Haydel, Alejandro Smith, August Smith Asher Smith, and Allene Smith. In lieu of flowers the family prefers donations to the Kiln VFW Post 6285 (16111 VFW Rd.
