Chris Burke hasn't added a story.
My name is Chris, and this is my Great Uncle Howard. I learned of him 3 and a half years ago. He was a loner and a black sheep of sorts and wasn't talked about much. I decided to make contact and from that first day to the day he died and beyond we have had an indescribable connection. We were the best of friends. He was my rock and mentor. He was in the BEST of health for his age and his death was sudden but peaceful. I was left shocked, heartbroken, and ill-prepared to be the executor of his small estate and the complications that have come with this resposibility. One of these complications being that I was under the impression I could handle his affairs without a lawyer. I was wrong, and neither I or any of my family has the means to take care of the lawyer's retainer fees and his final bills to get his affairs settled. It really is incredibly emotionally hurtful to have his last affairs on Earth just looming in limbo. We need your help badly or else there is no telling how long everything will stay up in the air. The first 100 $10 donations will get a 1st edition copy of my uncle's amazing but under advertised novel, The Weed & the Winter Solstice, and every penny we recieve plus $1,000 will be paid forward to other campaigns on FundRazr once the estate is settled and we can all breathe a sigh of peace. So your donations will help many people, not just us. We are asking for $5,000 to make sure we have enough to cover the legal fees, his final bills, FundRazr's fees, and the mailing out of the books. Thanks SO MUCH from me, my family, and our dear Uncle Howard, may he rest in peace, for all your help, time, and consideration. Bless you all.

This is Uncle Howard's crowning achievement. It was self published and never saw real success, despite being a fantastic story, because of a lack of advertising. There are VERY few copy's out in the world making it a unique addition to any book collection. Our way of sharing his life with you and of saying thank you for all your help.
