Really, sad to hear - I didn't see any obit (not that there would be)

Googling Gerald J. Burke Livermore Obituary doesn't turn up any 
candidates - I can't imagine an obit not mentioning where he worked.

There's a Gerald J. Burke in El Dorado Hills who died in 2014, but other 
info seems not to match.
