Bruce was born in Manchester on September 19, 1948, son of the late Clarence and Marie (Scarlato) Burke.

With his wife, Bruce is survived by his three children, Whitney Becker and her husband, Brian, of Manchester, Brian Burke and his wife, Kelly, of South Windsor, and Kyle Alexander and her husband, Marlon, of South Pasadena, California. Along with the time he spent with his wife and children, he treasured the special moments he had with his five grandchildren, Camden and Natalie Becker and Kayden, Ethan and Ayla Burke, along with his cherished dogs, Rudy and Rocco. In addition, his sister, Judy Wright, and her husband, Richard, of Manchester and many close brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law, nieces and nephews, and friends mourn his loss. We're going to miss him at the family card games. Besides his parents, Bruce was predeceased by his brother, Clarence (Joe) Burke, Jr.
