Burt J. Ross, 85, a resident of Morgan City passed away on Friday, May 2, 2014 
at his home.

Burt was born on June 29, 1928 in Berwick the son of Alfred and Alice Verrett 
Ross.

Ross, as most of his family and friends called him, knew the virtue of routine 
and procedure. After retiring in 1984, from Mobil Oil Co., Ross enjoyed working 
yearly in his vegetable garden and caring for his lawn. Never having idle 
hands, he spent hours tinkering with things. He crafted many of his own gadgets 
used around his workshop and yard. Additionally, he was a dedicated NASCAR fan, 
as well as an avid reader who never wavered in the pursuit of learning new 
things. Above all, he enjoyed following the accomplishments of his many 
grandchildren and great-grandchildren. His coffee table always contained the 
most current newspaper clippings of his family, highlighted of course, due to 
his attention to important details. And his side tables were adorned with 
family Christmas cards, treasured and framed by him. His appreciation for good 
friends was no different; each Wednesday morning, Ross and his ÒBreakfast 
BuddiesÓ could be found at their usual table at ShoneyÕs Restaurant.

He will be sadly missed and lovingly remembered by his four daughters Alice 
Ross of Carencro, Karen Nicar and husband Mike of Rayne, Paula Sylvester and 
husband Chet of Whiteville and Elaine Provost and husband Jeff of Navarre, 
Florida; seven grandchildren, Gary Nicar and wife Leah, P.J. Bergeron and wife 
Christy, Reagan Beaubouef and husband Tony, Melissa Broussard and husband Kirk, 
Becky Trosclair and husband Reggie, Samantha LaCombe and husband Mike, Jamie 
Guillory and husband Damien; seventeen great grandchildren; one sister, Sister 
Ann Ross.

Burt was preceded in death by his parents Alfred and Alice Verrett Ross, one 
sister Regina Hollingsworth, four brothers Garland "Buster" Ross, Alfred Ross 
Jr., John Ross and Lynn Ross Sr.
