Ronald Burke Obituary
Ron is reunited with his parents, Earl and Mabel Burke, and his sister, Sandy. Ron's spirit lives on through Linda, his wife of 58 years, who was his partner in every adventure; his children, Beth (Mike) Torok and Boyd (Melissa) Burke; four grandchildren, Taylor, Elek, Emerson, and Griffin; his brother, Dale (Rickie) Burke; brother-in-law, Jack Fadden; and many extended family members who were very dear to him.
Ron, a Mopar and Polaris connoisseur, had a lifelong "need for speed." Whether it was a car, snowmobile, motorcycle, or boat – the faster it went, the happier he was. But he was most at peace spending time with family and friends and enjoying the outdoors: fishing, hunting, camping, golfing, or simply walking his dog.
