Tammy, I am so sorry to hear about your dad. You and my family are in my thoughts and prayers.
Tammy - my deepest condolences to you and your family...
I am so sorry for your loss. I will sure miss him coming into the Chuckwagon everyday and hearing him say "see me" when he would leave. He could always make me smile even on my worst days! He will definetly be missed but never forgotten.
We at GL Beaumont Lumber Company extend our deepest condolences. Orville was a icon in the logging industry and supplied us with many many logs for probably 40 to 50 years. He was a valuable log supplier. He will be missed as we saw him often in the community and at our business.
Steve & Sue Logsdon. A good friend, known by family and friends will be missed.
I’m sorry for your loss. I used to go to the sawmill with my Dad and I remember how nice the Burks family was. Orville always had a smile and a kind word for my Mom as well whenever we would see him. I send you a peaceful prayer for comfort.
I have had the privilege of knowing Orville for 57 years, married to his sister Wilma for 54. What I learned and appreciated was his work ethics learned a lot about “don’t stop or quit, do what is right towards others. Not saying he was perfect, but when he made a mistake, he would make it right when possible. Learned to log when I was twenty, best job I ever had, he taught me all I know about that business. To say I will miss him is true, but knowing the family he leaves behind is priceless memory. Rest in peace my friend will miss you.
