E. Burrell Lindsay ’39

Burrell died Dec. 19, 2003, in Cleveland Heights, where he lived since retirement.

Except for Army service in the Pacific, where he was awarded a Purple Heart, Burrell spent his entire career with Union Carbide Corp., in several states. After he retired as purchasing manager in the Battery Products Division in 1986, he concentrated on golf and volunteering at YES, Inc., a workshop for the handicapped in Cleveland, where his son was working. Burrell was on the board and ran the workshop. One summer he decided to see how many days in a row he could play golf without getting bored. He played 102 straight days, from July to October.

Burrell and Jane Wray were married in 1948. Their daughter, Sally, and her husband live in Houston. Their son, Bill, who is handicapped but works each day at YES, lived at home with them. Jane died several years ago. To Sally and Bill, and Burrell's two grandchildren, we offer our sincere sympathy.
