Thomas J. Burke of Warrington, formerly a resident of Willow Grove, passed away at home on Monday, 4/22/19. He was 59.
Born in Philadelphia, Tom was the son of the late Thomas P. and Marguerite Burke. He is survived by his loving sister, Lisa Phy-DeBellis (Michael) and brothers Michael Burke and Daniel Burke. He was a very attentive uncle to Melanie, Eric, Jonathan, Ryan and Matthew. He is also survived by many aunts, uncles and cousins.
Tom graduated from Central Bucks West HS in 1977. He worked at Chess-X as a computer tech but decided that technology was not the avenue for him. After two failed marriages, he took classes at BCCC where he met many friends.
Tom was a free spirit who lived a simple life playing challenging games, attending rock concerts and enjoying nature while working odd jobs. Tom became disabled at an early age so he was house bound, but enjoyed TV, movies, music and friends. He was the consummate hippie, opening his home and heart to all.
A memorial luncheon will be held privately on 5/18/19. To contact the family, please leave a voice message at 215-343-3367 with your contact information.
