The family wishes to express sincere thanks to his care givers including UR Hospice Home Care, Michelle and Team, and his brother, Howard.

He was born and raised on a St. Lawrence County dairy farm in Northern New York, graduated with engineering degrees from SUNY Canton and the Rochester Institute of Technology prior to being hired by Eastman Kodak Company in 1954 where he remained an employee until his retirement 38 years later. During that time he completed US Navy basic training but was deferred from serving due to ongoing work on classified government projects. He advanced to various supervisory management positions, was involved in detailed customer relations and traveled extensively both domestic and internationally representing the company and special programs in which he was involved.

Following retirement he maintained an active schedule of volunteering and supporting community organizations, managing selected group activities, and extensive involvement in his church’s ministries.

Donations may be made to Elderberry Express, 35 Lincoln Avenue, Pittsford, New York 14534 or Christ Episcopal Church Pittsford, 36 South Main Street, Pittsford, New York 14534.
