Edward Bourque

I am sending my deepest condolences for the loss of your beloved Edward. My heart goes out to you at this time and in the days ahead. May special memories bring you comfort. Jesus has the deep desire and the ability to remove the pain of bereaved ones. Please consider the words of comfort and hope found at John 11:39-44. Thinking of the family.

The service today at St. Thomas was beautiful. It was heartwarming to take the time to remember a man who not only made me want to learn in the classroom, but also made me want to be a better person. A long, happy, fulfilled, and loving life like his is what we all should strive for. My sincerest condolences go out to his friends and family. He will be dearly missed.

I remember Ed as "Dr. Bourque" from my years of teaching in the Fairfield Public Schools. He was widely respected as a very knowledgable and intelligent administrator and supporter of public education. Rest in peace, Dr. Bourque. The world will miss you. Your contributions were many.

I remember Dr. Bourque when he taught at Notre Dame. He came across as stern at first, but was a big softie at heart, and genuinely loved us students and wanted us to succeed. I still remember his Latin lessons, and chatting with him after class; he always made me smile. Thank you for all you gave me, Dr. Bourque. I miss you.

My sincere condolences and prayers for one of the best and most challenging teachers who enriched my experience at Fairfield University.

My sincere and profound condolences and prayers are offered to Dr. Bourque's dear family. I am greatly saddened by the news of his death. I shall miss the ability to talk and to communicate with him. Whenever we connected he had a special way of showing his pride for his children and their offspring. Ed was such a caring father, grandfather and great grandfather. He was always there for his family. Ed's family has suffered a grievous loss, as have his friends and I. We shall miss...

I remember him telling us about his experiences during WWII, he loved his students and demanded the very best from them, God bless him, he blessed us all.

My deepest condolences to Dr. Bourque's friends and family. He is among the very best people in this world, and I'm proud and honored to have had him as a teacher and a mentor during my time at Notre Dame. Dr. Bourque, you will be missed, but you will first and foremost always be fondly remembered so much more by so many.

Ed was always a gentleman. His family should be proud of his legacy. My condolences to the family.
