I recently had sign-ups for Joy Readers and made a board to show our activities. Right in the center was a picture of Jack. We all remember him here at the village, and he is missed at Joy Readers. His name comes up and makes people smile.

I just saw this on an internet post. I am so sorry to hear of Jack's death. He was a wonderful,kind and caring gentleman! I was a student in his first class at Northeast Junior High and then later taught for him at Hanover Elementary School. My love and prayers go out to Pat and her whole family as they go through such a difficult time. RIP, Jack!

Jack Burke was a wonderfully genuine, outstanding leader of Education in Bethlehem. His love of children showed in his face every time he spoke of them. They loved him back. he was a wonderful asset to Moravian Village serving as president of the Resident Association for many years. I will miss Jack but am happy his suffering is over and he is in a good place. Blessings to Pat and his family. The photo is Jack with a group of Joy Readers waiting for our bus back to the village.

Deepest condolences to the Burke Family. Our daughter was a student at Hanover School from '89-'95. Mr. Burke was her principal and a really nice guy. I remember a number of our friendly conversations over those years. May he rest in peace, and may fond memories be a help at this most difficult time.
