Donna, Thank you for posting this information. I remember Bill Burns very well. We always listened/watched Bill on KDKA. I didn't realize he had a daughter. I left PA in 1963. It's so sad to hear they're both gone. I didn't know that Bill Burns had passed away either. ----- Original Message ----- From: <DLogras@aol.com> To: <PA-PITTSBURGH-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, October 31, 2001 10:06 PM Subject: [PITTSBURGH] Former News Anchor Patti Burns Dies > Thought I'd share this sad piece of info.

I've been posting what seems like millions ;-) of obits to the Washington County list. There are many people from Allegheny county in these obits as McDonald sits right on the county line between Washington and Allegheny counties. I have no connection to the family and have no other information on this person. Charles H. HEMKE, 78, of Center avenue, McDonald, died of a cerebral hemorrhage, Thursday, May 5, 1960, in the Veterans' Hospital, Oakland. A son of the late Frederick and Louisa HEMKE, he was born June 19, 1881, in Etna. He was a veteran of World War I and was a molder by trade. He is survived by his wife, Marie SCHAEFLE HEMKE; four daughters, Mrs. Virginia CREITH of Belleville, Mich., Mrs. Louise TARABA, Miss Elsie HEMKE, and Miss Ann HEMKE, all of the Northside, Pittsburgh; three sons, Charles HEMKE of Crafton Heights, and David HEMKE at home. Funeral services were held Monday in the Northside, Pittsburgh, in charge of the Rev. Mr. ARONISH of St. Paul's Lutheran Church, Northside, Pittsburgh. Burial was in Uniondale cemetery.

Forgot about most of those...but I did read Pegasus Bridge, it's about the Ox and Bucks in WWII...pretty damn good book... B. -----Original Message----- From: Carol S.

I grew up watching both Patti & her dad on KDKA. She will be deeply missed. Jill

Thought I'd share this sad piece of info. Most of us Pittsburghers grew up with either Patti or her dad Bill Burns as part of our daily lives. > > Former News Anchor Dies 10/31/01 Patti Burns, 49, died at her home in Pittsburgh today, October 31 from cancer.

She is survived by her husband, Charles Cohen of Pittsburgh; her mother, Jeanne Burns of Naples, Florida and a brother, Michael Burns of Pittsburgh.
