I pray that the Lord Jesus Christ touches this family with peace and love at this time of sorrow! I had the honor of working with Judge Burgess for over two decades and I considered him a dear friend! He was the definition of a true gentleman! Rest in peace my friend!

I met Charles Burgess in the mid 's while in high schoola and working at our family wholesale flooring business. Mr. Burgess knocked on the door after we were closed and asked me who he could show his seaming tape. I introduced him to my dad and watched him demo the tape and heat gun. We became his distributor and remained so after he sold his company to Roberts Consolidated. The Burgess hot melt seaming tape system remains the industry standard today.
