Remembering Bill and his wonderful family. Victoria Sheffield writing from London.

Sending condolences with fond memories of a wonderful man, father, grandfather, and friend. Victoria

My deepest sympathy to the O'Rourke Family. He was a great coach and a fine person. I always enjoyed his enthusiasm and his stories. He lives on in all that he touched.

The DeMatha Alumni Association express our sincere condolences and best wishes to a true DeMatha family.

I remember Mr. O'Rourke as the ideal friend's dad - funny, fun-loving and generous. One year, he was also my baseball coach at St. A's, and I'll always remember his patient efforts to teach me the finer points of the game. My brother Ed and I wish to express our heartfelt condolences to Mrs. O'Rourke, Bill, Dan, and the rest of the O'Rourke family.

Dear Pauline, Mary Ann, Maureen, Eileen, Kevin, Dan, Bill and spouses,

Our sincere sympathy to each of you. We were so shocked by the news. It is the end of 39 years of friendship with Bill who always had me make quick adjustments - like on the second day of our friendship I was spouting diatribes about the John Birch Society and Bill said he was going to ask me to be block captain. I know he really appreciated me being part of the golf foursome because he never had to worry...

Kevin, Mary Ann & Family,

We are sorry to hear about your dad. Having grown up in Lewisdale, we will always have fond memories of him and will continue to appreciate the many contributions that he made to our community, not to mention, the countless hours he devoted to DeMatha and Regina. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your extended family.

Kevin
After all these years, I still remember your father's huge grin after football games.

Dear Pauline, Kevin, Mary Ann, Maureen, Eileen, Dan and Bill and family,
What a wonderful life he lived, what a loving family he raised, and what a lasting memory he leaves with all of us. Our hearts and prayers are with you now and always.
Love,
Victoria and Howard
