He will be sorely missed by his beloved wife Cathryn and his adored daughter Elizabeth, her husband Patrick Higgins and his four treasured grandchildren Amélie, Paddy, Alex and Theo, whom he loved to the moon and back.

Predeceased by his parents Johnny and Bridgie Burke, his brother Padraic and by his parents-in-law John and Margaret Moynihan.
