In his ninetieth year, Thomas Burke of Tuam, County Galway, passed from this life surrounded by the quiet architecture of a life well-rooted — family, community, and the sturdy Connemara ponies of the west. He died at University Hospital Galway on May 30th, leaving behind a wife, three children, and three grandchildren who called him Far Far. His passing is a reminder that a life need not be large in geography to be rich in belonging.
