George Bourke died May 19th, 2013.
George was born in Manitoba in 1930, second son of the late Roy Bourke and the late Laure Dupont. He was first married to the late Gisèle Servant with whom he had three children. He leaves to mourn his wife Claudia Serres, his daughter Louise (Jack Douek), his sons Allen (Noemi Fabillaran) and Marc (Connie Janacek), his stepson James Mott, his younger brother Maurice (Carroll) and his sister-in-law Marion, widow of his late older brother Arthur. As well, he leaves twelve grandchildren: Gerald, Lynda, Eric, Charles, Jennifer, Julie, Tiffany, Vicki, Jessica, Samuel, George and Alissa, five great-grandchildren: Emily, Cloé, Nadia, Julia and Daniel, and innumerable cousins, nieces and nephews.
George worked for one company, Henry Birks and Sons, for 41 years, ending his career as Vice-President Finance. The twenty-two years of his retirement were spent happily enjoying life – curling, cycling, golfing, hiking, hunting, reading, skiing and walking – whenever he was not engaged in accounting, his favorite pastime.
May he be at peace.
The official funeral mass will be celebrated, in the presence of the ashes, Tuesday May 28th, 2013 at 10:30 am, at St-Thomas Aquinas Church, 413 Main Road, Hudson, Qc J0P 1H0.
