Obituary
Milo Edward "Chief" Burge was born January 19, 1928 to Ollie Theodore Burge & Marguerite Letha Baldwin urge. He passed away on Friday, November 2, 2012 in Bay City at the age of 84.
He is survived by his wife Georgia Welch of Orland, CA; four daughters Margaret Burge Carlisle of Bay City, Marsha Burge Hoffman & husband Vernon of Moulton, TX, Mary Burge Rose & husband Duaine of Ethridge, TN & Kasta Burge Carson & husband Derrick of Houston; one son John Burge of Quinton, OK; 25 grandchildren, 70 great grandchildren and 6 great-great grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his parents; daughter Jacqueline Lucia Burge; great granddaughter Alexis Camille McVey and sister June Chrestman.
He and a friend were the first D.J.'s at the country music station in McAlister, OK in 1946. He was in several bands and he played the guitar, fiddle & steel guitar and loved to sing to his grandchildren.
His dad was an old pipe liner and he worked construction jobs with him and that's how he came to Old Ocean, TX to work at Phillips 66. He worked there from 1949-1962. He then became a crop duster until he was 60 years old.
He did everything in life he ever wanted to do, and he did it his way. We loved him dearly. His wishes were to be cremated and his family will celebrate his life privately.
