"Stay For Life"

Mary Ann shared a story with me one day about her interview with my dad, Bernie Burgess, and my grandfather, Lester Burgess.  Mary Ann was being interviewed for the book-keeper position.   During the interview my dad told Mary Ann that "we are looking for someone who would stay for life".  My grandfather told my dad "you can't ask someone to do that" and Mary Ann laughed as she told me this.  Yet, stay for life she did!   Mary was with Burgess Company from 1976 until the company closed until in 2011.  She was a perfect fit for the company and was particulary fond of my brothers David, Michael, and Marcus.  She was never late and was a devoted employee and with her passing another link to an era becomes history.   I have no doubt that she is now at the company owned by God and Son where she will stay for life along with my grandfather Lester, dad Bernie, and brother David Burgess.
