John J. “Jack” O’Rourke died on Friday August 2, 2024, at the age of 86, still madly in love with his late wife “Bunny”. Jack is survived by their son John, daughter-in-law Tara, and their sons John (Caley), Coleton and the late Dillon. Jack was a world-class raconteur and an armchair historian. In his storied career as an FBI agent (1969-1995), Jack earned the nickname “Father O’Rourke”; as John Kass wrote in the Chicago Tribune, Jack “had a knack of encouraging Outfit soldiers to confess their Mafia crimes…He talked it out of them.” Visitation will be held Wednesday, August 7th, at 10:00 AM at St. James at Sag Bridge Catholic Church, 10600 Archer Ave., Lemont, IL 60439. This will be followed by the Funeral Mass at 11:00 AM. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to St. Rita of Cascia High School, https://www.stritahs.com/donate.
