Mr. York had been a resident of Milford for the last 11 years, formerly living in Billerica, MA. He was very proud of his work ethic and dedication. Working for over 20 years at AGFA, he never took a sick day. Following his retirement in 2000, he went to work for his son’s screen printing business. Mr. York enjoyed spending time at his camp in Kingston, NH, traveling, carpentry and fixing items to make them new again, and long rides to nowhere in particular. To his granddaughter he will always be “older than Snoopy” and “full of malarkey.”

York of Florida and Raymond A. York of Burlington, MA, a sister; Florence A. Aquino of Brighton, MA and also by many nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by a brother; Ronald A.
