Daily News | John J. Burfete Jr., a career prosecutor and expert in high-tech and computer crime, has died at 77
John J. Burfete Jr., 77, of Byrn Mawr, a career prosecutor who was a pioneer and early expert in the areas of technology and computer crime, died Monday, May 9, at home, from complications of a stroke.
In 1979, Mr. Burfete left that agency to begin his career with the newly formed Office of the Attorney General of Pennsylvania. He joined the agency’s Criminal Law Division, serving as prosecutor in the Harrisburg, Philadelphia and Norristown offices and supervising investigations and conducting trials in numerous counties across the state.
The son of the late John J. Burfete Sr. and Nancy O’Donnell Burfete, Mr. Burfete was a Norristown native who graduated from Bishop Kenrick High School in Norristown. He went on to graduate from LaSalle College in Philadelphia in 1966 with a bachelor’s degree in political science. “He was passionate about the law and loved his career, but his true devotion was to his two daughters and two grandchildren,” said his daughter Mary. “Nothing brought him more joy than spending time with them and watching them grow. He was a loving father and Pop Pop who would do anything for his family.”
