It is with profound sorrow, that we announce the passing of our beloved Dad, John O’Rourke. Dad was born in the small village of Annamoe, County Wicklow, Ireland. He was the second eldest in a family of thirteen children born to Michael and Anne O’Rourke. He travelled by ship and train in 1948 to the land that had all the gold. He met Rose in 1954 and they married soon after.
