Meet the Staff


T.J. Burke Lumber Co. Inc. was established in 1926 by Timothy J Burke. Our Oswego location is the original site purchased by Mr. Burke from the Post & Henderson Lumber Company. In 1987 we expanded to the Fulton, NY area with the purchase of the former Morin Brothers Lumber.

Today the fourth generation of the Burke family continues the fine tradition started by their Great Grandfather. Tom Handley (below right) and Chuck Handley (below left) are proud to maintain such a strong history, and continue to serve the Oswego & Fulton communities in which they live.
