We did not have the opprtunity to meet you Dad, but having met you and heard you talk about him, when we were last in SFO, tell us that he was a great Dad, truly loved by his family and friends.

Dad, We miss you more than ever and hope that you are at rest in heaven.

Ed was a true gentleman who was cut from the right fabric. He was a policeman's policeman. I enjoyed working with him during my time at O'Hare.

Our sympathy and prayers for Ed, Mary and all the Bourke's. Thank you for remembering our Misericordia residents, during these hard days. Blessings.

Heartfelt condolences to the entire Bourke family. I can't count the number of times I must have trudged from Ponchartrain Blvd (which Mr. Bourke often reminded me was the widest street in the city!)to the home on Lehigh Avenue of one of the best families in the Wildwood Park community. I relished the countless hours sitting in the kitchen with Pat and friends listening to countless stories from Mr. and Mrs. Bourke over an endless supply of Skittles and Coca Cola (thank goodness for The Wearhouse Club!). If any of us every felt down and needed some encouragement, we knew we could always head over to the house and instantly have a smile put on our face by Mr. Bourke (after a beat down or two by Tim or John). He was a great mentor, positive role model and as true and loyal a friend as anyone could ever have. I am a better person for having been part of Mr. Bourke's life and the extended Bourke clan. God Bless you Mr. Bourke and the entire family. You will be sorely missed but NEVER forgotten.

You will be missed and we will have our great memories of Mr. Bourke. Love and prayers to his family

Our condolences and prayers to the Burke family during this difficult time.

The Short Family

To the Entire Bourke family,

I was truly one of the luckiest police officers to work with and know Ed Bourke. He was trained by my Uncle William Gruber in the Old Cragin Ave Station. What a gentleman and humanitarian God Bless you Eddie. There is brighter star shining in the heavens today.

Jackson Blvd. In the meantime, may family and friends know the healing touch of our all-loving, all-merciful God! [Police Chaplains Ministry: www.ChicagoPCM.org or 312/738-7588]
