It was the last job he thought he would ever have.
But it turned into the job of a lifetime.
For Craig Mehmen, the soon-to-be retired superintendent of Harlington Cemetery, 35 years flew by fast.
All this time, the cemetery on the south side of town has been his home away from home.
And in the end, it will be the final resting place for the sacred grounds keeper, right next to his parents and his baby granddaughter.
It is hardly surprising that after three and a half decades, the 62-year-old grandfather of eight has developed an attachment to his work that is hard to sever.
He has sold parcels to elderly couples planning their permanent resting place, counseled grieving families, dug about 2,500 graves in good and bad weather, mowed the grass, plotted new sections and made sure all decorations are properly displayed, and promptly removed as per city code.
But above all, Mehmen has been the custodian of Waverly’s history in the making at one of its most vulnerable of moments -- when families bid goodbye to their loved ones. Like a journalist who drafts the story of the times, and the historian, who re-writes it for the record, the cemetery superintendent works in a special space on the threshold between the temporary and the timeless.
