A member of the Laborer's International Union Local 1115, Burke thrived on hard work with spirited energy and strength. He had a keen eye for detail and took great pride in a job well done. He was employed at Gulf Oil Refinery for many years and worked on numerous construction projects throughout the Strait area. Burke was an avid outdoorsman and spent many hours working the family farm on the Beaton Rd. His hobbies included hunting, snowmobiling and landscaping. His passion for antique cars and the auto industry led to many entertaining Sunday drives with his family. He enjoyed Cape Breton square dances, community concerts, Scottish music, a good 63 card game and a cup of King Cole tea with friends. His greatest pride was his family.
