Heartfelt thanks, Judge Burns


October 17, 2012 · Updated 5:30 PM 

We would like to take this opportunity to publicly thank Judge Patrick Burns.

As an attorney, longtime council member, municipal court judge, neighbor and friend, Pat Burns has been a role model for what it means to be an upstanding community member in Auburn. His dedication to this city through the years, in one way or another, has most likely affected every member of this community for the better. It is people like Mr. Burns, who make a town like Auburn a better place to live.

As he leaves his post as our local judge, we would like to wish him the very best in his future endeavors. You have made such a tremendous impact in so many lives, we are grateful for the time you have devoted to this community.

– Mark and Jana Silberling
