Jim Burtiss Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Dad was very proud of his service in the United States Army. He enlisted in 1955. Upon his return, he became a licensed plumber and joined his father at Burtiss Plumbing. He was meticulous and eventually became a Master Plumber. He continued the business until his retirement. Dad loved NASCAR racing. Many memories were made while camping at the racetrack in Michigan with Mark and Debbie.
DAD YOU WILL ALWAYS BE LOVED, REMEMBERED AND MISSED!
