Joseph O'Rourke Obituary

Joseph F. “Duke” O’Rourke passed away on November 28th after a battle with Alzheimer’s disease. Born in 1947, he was the son of Joseph F. O’Rourke Sr. and Ellen O’Rourke (Miles) in Philadelphia. Wife Charlotte O’Rourke (Truesdell) predeceased Joseph in 2018.

Joseph is survived by his sister Margaret Eastburn (O’Rourke), daughter Dawn Devlin (David), Step- daughter Luanne Hunt, Grandchildren Megan and Catherine Cahill and Nephews William Kane (Maria), Kevin Kane (Andrea) and Daniel Kane (Dawn).

“Duke” was a good brother, uncle, husband, father, grandfather, and friend, who proudly worked at Lockheed Martin for 43 years, retiring in 2009. In retirement he enjoyed meeting his friends at Seville’s Diner “Boyertown” for breakfast and spending time with his wife and grandchildren.

Dad, May the road rise to meet you, may the wind always be at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face, the rains fall soft upon your fields, and until we meet again, may GOD hold you in the palm of his hand.

Services and interment are private.

Contributions in memory of Joseph can be made to the Alzheimer’s Association to help fight the battle that steals so many of our loved ones too soon.
