This is my brother James Edward "Buddy" Burks. No one ever called him Buddy except me.
Buddy had the chore of babysitting me when I was little.He had to work hard all his life.He started out in Bakersfield California picking cotton. He sold pop bottles and did whatever he could to feed me.
he also sold newspapers as a young boy.
After mom died, he went back to Arkansas and went to work to pay for her funeral. He was 19 at the time.
He married and had a daughter Felicia born in 1972.
That marriage was short lived.
He met Geraldine Green and was married to her for 35 years and had two children,Nicole and Jimmy.
He passed away fron cancer.His ashes were buried at Friendship Cemetery in Haynesville, La.
My brother was a wonderful person and fun to go fishing with , which we did every chance we had and it was never enough.
