In Memoriam

John M. Burick  

July 20, 1933 - October 31, 2008

John M. Burick was a long-time member of the Seven Hills Running Club.  His last two races were the Huntsville 5K on October 11, 2008 and the Shiitake Mushroom Festival 5K in Madisonville on October 25, 2008.  He won his age group in both races.  While on a training run on the streets of Huntsville on October 31, 2008, John was fatally struck by a vehicle.  He was one of the nicest guys you would ever want to meet and at age 75 ran on a regular basis.
