Passed peacefully away, surrounded by family and friends on Saturday morning, April 7, 2012. Leo was born in Tilting, Fogo Island, NL, on October 22, 1937, the first child of Ronald and Rose (Foley) Burke. He attended Memorial University and moved to Glenwood in 1961, where he met his loving wife of 49 years, Lillian (Ford). They were married in 1962. Leo taught high school in Gander until he retired in 1992. He enjoyed 20 years of retirement in Gander, fishing, fly-tying, hunting, travelling and spending time with his great friends. Leo was especially proud of his achievements with the Knights of Columbus, rising to the highest order in the province, “State Deputy”. Along with Lillian, Leo leaves behind his daughters, Michele (Cam) Driscoll of Calgary and Denise (Ted) Cooke of St. John’s. He was predeceased by his infant son, Ian, in 1964. He will be sadly missed by his two grandchildren, Hannah and Josh Cooke, along with his grand-dog, Maggie. Leo also leaves his devoted sister Angela (Joe) Kinsella of St. John’s, and her family. Leo’s commitment to friendship and community gave him many dear friends who will miss his companionship and joy of life.
