He was a member of Open Door Community Church in Belton, SC. Surviving are: his sister, Ruth Gillard of Anderson; sons, Ted Burgess and wife Mary of Belton, John Burgess and wife Faye of Seneca, Walter Burgess of Belton, Tommy Burgess and wife Sandra of Anderson; daughters, Linda Bell of Williamston and Patsy McConnell and husband Jody of Anderson; 12 grandchildren, 20 great grandchildren, and one great, great grandchild. He was preceded in death by 4 brothers, 4 sisters and 2 grandchildren. Growing up on a farm, he went to work with one of the textile mills as a young man in order to play in the Anderson County Baseball League. He was pitcher who had a good curve ball and very good fastball, as many of his opponents discovered to their dismay. This led to him being an avid Braves fan, even in the lean years. Later, he became a builder working for various builders in the Anderson area. The last few years of his building career, he formed Arnold Finley Builders and went out on his own as a builder with a reputation of building a good solid house. According to his oldest son, his real claim to fame was the marrying of Louise Burgess and taking on the job of raising six children aging from the age of 17 to 7 years old. "He did a really good job of raising five of them. One of us was too far gone when he got there." says Ted. He managed to make sure we all finished school, we learned the lesson of giving a full day's work for a day's wages, the value of honesty, and the importance of standing by your word when you gave it. He will be missed by all who knew him.
