RICHARD RICKARD BURKE

December 13, 1937 - March 08, 2024

Richard Burke was born in London England to William and Doris Burke. He is survived by his sister Tina; daughters Sharon Causley (Nigel) and Michelle Burke; step-daughter Debbie (Bob); grandchildren Sam, Daisy, Rosie, Kitty, Susie, Charlotte, Alison and Holly; great-grandchildren Tommy, Fifi and Leo; and many nieces and nephews. Predeceased by his parents, brother Michael and by his wife Lee, his soulmate.

Richard was a Chartered Accountant in positions with major firms across Canada, finally settling in Victoria. He became an investment advisor with Investors Group and Manulife before retiring. Richard's passions included his dogs, golf, the Union Club (President 2002-2004) and charity work with the Harbourside Rotary Club (Honorary Member). He also was a founding member of Angel Flight. His many friends and colleagues will remember Richard as a charming and well-dressed gentleman, with a quick wit - albeit sometimes a little close to the bone! But always in good fun and with a twinkle in his eye.

Many thanks to the staff at Mount St. Mary Hospital for their care for Richard over the last year. At his request, there will be no funeral service. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to The Rotary Club of Victoria Harbourside Foundation, c/o The Union Club of British Columbia 805 Gordon Street, Victoria, B.C. V8W 1Z6
