From the BBC News, read this story about Lyndon Elsey from Wales and his go get ‘em work ethic at his cemetery services worker.

The U.K.’s Local Government Association’s employee of the year prize is coming up, and when residents of Elsey’s home district caught wind of the news, they wrote in with piles of notes commending him for his outstanding work.

Elsey has been known to burn the candle and go the extra mile when helping mourning families deal with the often times painful end-of-life logistics of the burial. He also helps families with requests of their already buried family members. Once, he even helped a family member find a lost grave site.

It’s great that the people of Wales and the U.K. do not overlook some of their more marginalized workers. Out on a cemetery, it would be quite understandable if no one ever paid attention to the great works of a committed employee. But don’t ever leave the British out of the being grateful for others group. Hats off to Elsey and his unsung heroics at the graveyard.
