Edmund BURKE

Róisín, sincere sympathy on the death of your Dad. I was informed by my niece Brenda Kenny - O'Shea & Jarlath, Galway. Tony Kenny, ex-Teagasc.

Fionnuala and Roisin. Sincere condolences on the passing of your dad. You are in my thoughts. May he rest in peace.

Our sincere sympathy to Roisin and Fionnuala on the passing of their father Edmund. We got to know him many years ago through his brother Fr Tom who was a mentor and later a colleague of one of us in the Dept of Experimental Physics of UCD. Edmund was a charming and very erudite man whom we will miss greatly. He was a real Christian gentleman.

Our deepest sympathy to all Edmund's family. We remember him as a true gentleman, a kind and generous colleague and as an innovator in Education.
We will not meet his like again, one in a generation.

Deepest sympathy to the Burke family
This may sound strange but while out walking in Terenure on 31/1/2021 the name of Edmund Burke came up in conversation .
Last night his name came up again but this time in relation to his sad passing.
I never knew he was from Terenure .
I met him first as a student in 1970 in Colaiste Eanna when I was 12 yrs of age.
An imposing figure in a three piece black suit with a kind face.
I tested his patience on many an occasion and indeed I was very familiar with the decor in his office.
Tributes posted here tell me he was indeed a great man and talented.
Well some of his wisdom paid off with me in life and the penny eventually dropped .
Edmund deserves a special place in heaven after surviving Colaiste Eanna.

My sincere sympathy to the Burke family on the sad passing of Eddie. He was always so supportive and kind to me as a young teacher in Coláiste Éanna. May he rest in peace.

I was very sorry to learn of Ed's passing. I lived next door to him in Whitehall Gdns for 3 years in the 1980s. He was a kind, considerate and gentle man, devoted to his daughters Roisin and Fionnuala. My sincere condolences to them and all the family.

Dear Roisin. Deepest sympathy on the loss of your wonderful father.

My sincere sympathy to the Burke family on Edmund's passing.

Ed was a lovely man to meet and converse with.

He will be sadly missed.

May he rest in peace.

News of the death of Eddie Burke brings back memories of the 1960s. Memories of a kind man next door in his Ford Anglia. His gentle presence and help thought us what a good beighbour is. His intellect and good humour showed us the best of Dublin.

I was a student in cabra "tech" in the early 70's, Mr Burke was our principle then, I remember him as a fair man. May he rest in peace.

sincere sympathy to the Burke family on Eddies death.He was a wonderful colleague in our VEC days.May he rest in eternal peace.

May Eddie rest in peace after a long and fullfilling life. A gentleman indeed and true family man. The service was lovely. Take care. Bernie Judge Former Cabra VEC.

We will remember Eddie always for his kindness, good humour and friendship. At the top of the queue to welcome him with a cup of tea and a biscuit in hand will be Padraig O'Shea and no doubt the banter and craic they had together will be resumed with gusto! His greatest pride was his family and he would be well pleased with the send off today. "A good mass" indeed it was and he is smiling down on you now.........rest in peace Eddie.

My heartfelt sympathy to Róisín, Fionnuala and all Ed's family. I have known Ed since I was ten when as a teenager he was on holiday in our house in Ballivor Co Meath with Ernest Turnbull of Edinburgh My eldest sister Máire (RIP) was a classmate of Fr Tom (then Brother) in UCD and Ernest was a son of the landlady where she stayed while a Ph.D student in Edinburgh who became Principal of a large School in Edmonton, Canada. A teenage pal of their's in Ballivor,Ger Toner, became a priest in Africa. The last time I met Ed was at the launch of Anton Trant's book. Ed was so generous informing his colleagues of the Maths he learned from my father in Ballivor. All of us in the VEC service benefited from his work in Education. A lovely great man.

Sincere condolences to all the Family on the sad passing of your dad ,grandad Ed .It was a pleasure to care for him and he will always hold a special place in my heart .
