In Memory of Tom Bur – Milwaukee Veterans Hospital
I did not know Tom Bur, nor did I ever have the chance to meet him. However, if the character of a man can show in his children, then he was truly a great man. I have had the honor to know his children and grandchildren, and call them family for just over two years now. The family he left behind are all amazingly beautiful people in heart, mind and spirit. They all possess a passion for life that must have been instilled in them by Tom.
Tom was an Air Force Veteran, and last Tuesday we gathered to honor his service, and in memory salute him as he looks down upon us. Sue Perse, daughter of Tom, and my mother-in-law, asked me to capture the memorial in photographs. I was happy to do so.
