Bourke along with Meatball and Jr.; father Tom Pallo; brothers Greg (Marie), Brad, Loren, and Ray; aunt Emma Palla; and cousin Vickie (Wade) Hollister. Preceded in death by mother Gloria Pallo. He will be most remembered as a generous, helpful, and humorous man. He left us with a smile. Murray was a master of all trades. Murray was a union carpenter, project manager for new construction in the north metro area, did building maintenance, was a millwright, a supervisor at Electric Steel Elevators, and was also employed at Onan Corp. Most recently, besides working at RLC, he enjoyed working on the Goose Lake resort for his friend Bud. When Murray wasn’t building, fixing or repairing, he enjoyed fishing, playing horseshoes, snowmobiling, going to the casino, and riding motorcycle. He will be missed by many.
