Irving Clinton Lee Burgeson

He was born April 2, 1931, in Jamestown, a son of the late Clair and Genevra Lee Burgeson. He was a 1949 graduate of Jamestown High School.

Prior to his retirement he was employed by MRC/TRW/SKF as a Skilled Machine Repairman where he achieved his 40-year Service Award.

He was a member of the Watts Flats United Methodist Church, Coachmen Camping Club, Thule Lodge, and Harmony Odd Fellows for several years. He enjoyed singing and participated in the MRC Chorus.

He was a very talented mechanic and could repair almost anything. His favorites were his Allis Chalmers tractor and his 87 Ford Truck. Although his time was sometimes limited, he was always offering to help his friends and family when in need. He enjoyed spending time cutting, splitting and stacking his firewood for the Winter season. His other interest included camping, square dancing, ballroom dancing, snowmobiling, tinkering in his tool shed, feeding and watching the birds. He also was a very supportive and a passionate Panama wrestling fan. After retirement he was very happy that he could spend more time with his Family, Grandchildren and Great Grandchildren.
