BURKE, Patrick Charles —

It is with deep sadness that we are announcing the death of Patrick Charles Burke. The most amazing father, grandfather, brother, uncle and friend passed peacefully surrounded by friends and family on April 17, 2017.

Patrick was born on July 7, 1938 in Toronto. He was predeceased by his parents William and Florence Burke (nee Tomlinson), brother William, son-in-law Frank Skalko and granddaughter Brittany.

He is survived by daughters Debi (son-in-law Dean Tondiglia), Susan and “favourite daughter,” Colleen (family joke), sister Noreen (Bob) Edwards, grandchildren Nevin, Michael, Spencer and Samantha and all of his wonderful nieces, nephews and friends.

We are incredibly grateful for the love and support that Pat has received from his friends and family during the final chapter of his life. He gave so much and he received in kind. Special thanks and gratitude goes out to those we fondly refer to as “Team Pat” (you know who you are). This amazing man didn’t go a day without being loved.

At Pat’s request, there will be no funeral or memorial service. Cremation has taken place. A private gathering is being arranged.
