DIED - BURGAN - Suddenly, Aug. 10, 1970, Thomas T. Burgan Sr. of 129 4th St., Troy, husband of the late Emma Jane Turner; father of Thomas T. Burgan, Jr. of Johnsonville and Mrs. Jane Ann Maddux of Castleton. Also survived by five grandchildren. Funeral services at 2 p.m. Thursday at the Howard B. Tate and Son Funeral Home in Raymertown. Friends may call Wednesday 7 to 9 p.m. Interment in the Norton Cemetery in Pittstown.
Gale's note: When "Pop Pop" came home from work at the Stanley Building in Albany (he was an elevator operator) he always had a Kraft carmel in his blue sweater pocket for me to find.
Pop Pop and his son Thomas were both lamp lighters in East Orange, New Jersey during the 1930s.
Also, I am told that my first haircut was at Pop Pop's barber. He had him cut off my braids. No one can tell me why.
