Just read about John burke's passing My deepest condolences to his wife and family. His willingness to share what he learned along the way will live on in the work of all the carvers he has helped and touched through the years. A true inspiration to us all.

My condolences to his wife and family. Even though I never had a chance to meet John from what I heard about him, his legacy will live on throughout the carving world forever. Rest in peace Mr. Burke!
