Hill Cemetery.
He gave up a private practice to help develop the fledgling
surgery department at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at
Dallas, said Dr. C. James Carrico, chairman of the department.
Dr. Carrico said Phillips was among the Dallas surgeons who
volunteered their services to help build the UT Southwestern department of
surgery and establish partnerships with other Dallas institutions.
In addition to being a fine clinician, Dr. Phillips had
people skills that allowed the school to combine residency programs with the
Veterans Administration Medical Center in Dallas.
"He was the leader during that transition," Dr.
Carrico said. "His patience, his kindness and his ability to deal with
people and get them to work together was crucial in making that work."
Dr. Phillips also loved mechanical things, working on cars
and computers, said his wife, Kathleen Phillips of Dallas.
He wrote a computer program for medical office management
that he used and sold to several of his colleagues, Mrs. Phillips said.
A Dallas native, Dr. Phillips was a graduate of Woodrow
Wilson High Scholl. He did his premed studies at Southern Methodist University.
He served in the Navy during World
War II, then received his medical degree from UT Southwestern.
After serving in the U.S. Public Health Service during the
Korean Was, Dr. Phillips was in general practice in Dallas. he was the first
chief of surgery at Presbyterian Hospital, Mrs. Phillips said.
Dr. Phillips returned to private practice after teaching at
UT Southwestern and serving as chief of surgery at the VA medical center, Mrs.
Phillips said. He retired several years ago.
Dr. Phillips was also proud of his ranch in Kerens, east of
Corsicana. The state recognized the ranch last December for its century of
operation by one family.
In addition to his wife, Dr. Phillips is survived by his
daughter, Kathy Phillips of Dallas.

Athens Review
April 03, 2002
Students stunned by teacher's sudden death
By Art Lawler
Even in death, Wayne Burkhalter is teaching his students lessons about
life.
The Trinity Valley Community College agriculture teacher and rodeo coach
spent most of Saturday helping with a judging contest at the Henderson County
Livestock Show, making students laugh even as they learned.
A few hours later the popular instructor was dead of a heart attack.
Monday morning, students still years away from coming to terms with their
own mortality found themselves trying to come to grips with the undeniable
lesson inadvertently delivered by their instructor: Life is fragile.
The 52-year-old Burkhalter, a Chatfield (outside of Corsicana) resident,
had faced mortality head on in the past. Just two years ago he underwent triple-bipass
surgery. And in recent days, students said he complained of being tired. But
nobody expected what happened Saturday afternoon.
"We had just seen him two hours before he died," said Adrian
Lane, a freshman student from Fairfield. "When we heard, I was just
shocked."
Adrian called a friend and fellow student, sophomore Amy Calhoun. Most of
the conversations that afternoon were similar to the one these two had:
"Did you hear about Wayne?" Adrian asked her.
"No," she said.
"He just passed away."
"What? Are you crazy?"
"No, this is for real."
"What kind of sick April Fools joke is this?"
Reality may take some time.
"It still hasn't sunk in," Adrian admits. "It doesn't seem
like it happened."
Even in the midst of shock, the students are remembering their instructor
as one of those rare teachers who could make students learn in a disciplined
fashion and still be their friend.
All of them referred to him by his first name, Wayne.
"He was easy to get along with," Amy said. "He was a people
person."
Jessica Wylie, a freshman TVCC student from Hubbard and the only female on
the school's rodeo team, said Burkhalter's students knew he cared about them.
"He looked after all of us kids," she said. "He would have
done anything for us. He loved us."
Burkhalter also seemed to have that one intangible for becoming a
superstar teacher in the minds of students - he was cool.
"He was definitely the only teacher that was considered a
friend," Jessica said. "We could chat up with him outside class. He
was, like, very open minded. He would cut up with us, like he was one of
us."
Adrian said he was the one teacher the students liked seeing after class
hours.
"You couldn't beat him for a teacher," Adrian said. "He was
definitely the best I've ever had."
He liked to see his students succeed.
"As a teacher he always made sure his students had hands-on
experience," Amy said. "One of the last things he told me was that I
was the voice of agriculture, because I (journalism student) do the writing
about agriculture."
Amy, like the other students, had a hard time holding back tears for the
teacher who had made such an impression on her.
Burkhalter leaves behind his wife of 27 years, Ginger, and three children.
The funeral was scheduled for 2 p.m. today at Griffin-Roughton Funeral
Home in Corsicana.

Notes:
-
My name is Tina Wafer. I was searching through your database of
obituaries on the site and I noticed that the birthdate listed for my
grandfather, Clovis Leo Beaver. The birth date is listed as May 5,
1920, but it is actually May 10, 1920. I know that the information
you post is received from the Corsicana Daily Sun, however, they ran
this obit 3 times and each time, some piece of information was
incorrect. I am not faulting you for this error, but I would appreciate
it if you could update your records to reflect the correct birth date.
Thank you for your time. Sincerely, Tina Wafer
