BURKE, Ronald J. - Ronald John Burke, PhD, died peacefully on March 19, 2019, in Toronto, at the age of 81.
Ron was born on October 22, 1937, in Winnipeg, Manitoba.
He graduated from the University of Manitoba and obtained an MA and PhD from the University of Michigan (Go Blue!).
Ron made Toronto his home for the last 50 years; it was a city he loved for its culture, restaurants, theatre, and ambiance.
On weekends he could be seen poking around book stores and dining in restaurants in his Yonge and Eglinton neighbourhood.
Ron is survived by his three children, Sharon, Rachel, and Jeff. Above all else, they and their friends and partners were his greatest source of pride. Sharon, Rachel, and Jeff dearly miss their dad.
In keeping with Ron's wishes, there will be no public service or funeral arrangements.
