HERB BURKE It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Herb Burke on January 15, 2015, at the age of 84. Left to mourn Herb's passing is his brother Ron Burke of Vancouver, his brother-in-law Al Coote of Winnipeg and numerous nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his loving wife of 28 years Joyce (nee Remillard), and his parents Ethel and Harry. Herb was born April 23, 1930 and was raised in Winnipeg, working a lifetime career in Paper Sales with Mid-West Paper Sales/Price-Daxion in Winnipeg, Calgary and Saskatoon. Herb was a loving husband and fun, charismatic uncle. He married Joyce in 1958 and adored their 28 years together before her passing. Herb was a social, gregarious man who enjoyed golfing, curling, bowling, billiards, and cars. His family and friends will remember his sense of humour and his smile. The family would like to thank Bruce and Renee for their attention to Herb, and the staff at Niverville Personal Care Home. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Herb's memory to the Alzheimer's Society of Canada or a charity of your choice. All are welcome to attend and celebrate Herb's life at a memorial service on February 2 at 10:00 a.m. at Glen Lawn Memorial Gardens & Funeral Home, 455 Lagimodiere Boulevard, Winnipeg, MB (204) 982-7550.

Condolences & Memories (1 entries)

  • To hear of Herb's passing is sad .. the last few years have been hard on him .. I'll always remember him as a kind and gentle person always willing to listen to me whenever we were together as a young boy (my really boring stories) as a teen (still boring stories) or as an adult ... Herb always had a good story to tell and a great laugh to end each one of them ... that's what I will miss most ... his smile, his stories and his laugh ... so lets all have a glass of green label scotch .. his favorite to remember him. Cheers Uncle Herb ... you will be missed. - Posted by: darrel friesen (nephew) on: Feb 01, 2015
