Drexel Emeritus Trustee Barry C. Burkholder passed away on July 24, 2020, from complications of COVID-19 at age 80. He is survived by a loving family, including his wife Janet. Burkholder will be remembered as smart and generous, a steadfast leader, an avid golfer and a devoted family man.
As a student in Drexel’s LeBow College of Business, he earned both undergraduate and graduate degrees and participated in ROTC. After graduation, he served as an officer in the U.S. Army, eventually rising to captain.
In his professional life, Burkholder was president and CEO of Houston-based Bank United Corp. when he retired in 2001.
His career in banking and business took him across the country and overseas to London, where he was chairman and managing director of Citibank Savings in the late ’70s. Following his military service, Burkholder began his career at Ford Motor Company, in its financial planning area.
Burkholder was a thoughtful trustee, serving from 1998 to 2013 and chairing the University investment committee. He received the Golden Dragon Award in 2012, the Drexel University Distinguished Alumni Award in 1988, the 2007 A. J. Drexel Paul Alumni Achievement Award, and was inducted into the Drexel 100 in 1998.
Due to the Burkholder family’s generosity, the Drexel Athletics Hall of Fame established its first permanent home. The interactive Janet E. and Barry C. Burkholder Athletics Hall of Fame was unveiled in 2012 in the Recreation Center gallery.

Edward B. Burke III
BS civil engineering ’94
Edward Burke suddenly passed away on Sept. 12, 2020, at age 49. Formerly of Glendora, New Jersey, he was living in Cincinnati at the time of his death.
Burke leaves behind his children Kasey and Ryan, and his former wife, Melinda Stodart. He is also survived by his parents Donna and Edward B. Burke Jr., his four siblings, his grandmother and many nieces, nephews and cousins.
Burke was a lover of life and a successful collegiate baseball player. As a student, he was the captain of Drexel’s baseball team. “He loved his Sigma Pi fraternity brothers at Drexel and they loved him until the day he died,” says close friend Sean Gallagher ’93.
He loved sports, cooking, travel, a good cocktail and he was always up for a lively conversation. More than anything, Burke loved his children. If it was coaching, a soccer game, swimming or taking them to MMA training, they were the light of his life.
