Mr. Burke is anything but trashy.
For decades, John Burke has been making the rounds in and around Middleton, making stops and picking up trash with his truck. He's got dedicated customers... and he's equally dedicated to them.
In a recent story on WHDH, you'll see what happened Wednesday. His truck's engine block caught fire while right next to his customer's home.
In order to save the O'Leary's home (and their dog that may have been near the truck), the 75 year old hopped into the cab, backed the burning truck down the driveway backwards, and got it to the middle of the street where the truck couldn't cause further damage.
A couple hours later, he had a U-Haul to continue making his rounds. A hard worker and incredible person.
The O'Leary's started a GoFundMe to help Mr. Burke pay for a new truck (as insurance won't cover it all). As of the writing of this article, the fundraiser is over $11,000 - and rising! Truly, watch the story for yourself and you can't help but fall in love with this guy.
