William Burgess
On Sunday, February 7th, 2021, William Burgess, a loving husband, brother and uncle, passed away unexpectedly at age 68 in Tampa, Florida. Bill was born in Tenafly, New Jersey on February 27th, 1952. He graduated Fairleigh Dickinson University and held a bachelor's degree in marketing. Bill's long career at The Parks Department in Greenwich, Connecticut was inspired by his love and passion for horticulture. He worked well into his sixties and sincerely enjoyed his job and colleagues. Bill loved the outdoors and nature. Some of his favorite pastimes were boating, fishing and gardening. Two of his favorite places to relax were Maine and Florida, where he spent much of his time with family. He will be remembered for his generous spirit, loving soul and humorous ways. Bill loved his family tremendously. He leaves behind his devoted wife, Carlene Burgess, as well as many caring family members and friends. Honorable donations for William can be made to The Audubon Society or the National Park Foundation.
