1935 - 2018
On Saturday June 23, 2018, Heaven welcomed another garden tender.
Robert F. Macy, loving husband, father and friend crossed over the veil at
the tender age of 82.
He served in the US Navy during the Korean War and was a plank holder
of the USS Hassayampa. He was a graduate of Farmingdale State
College in NY. But his life passion was to grow things. He owned an
apple orchard in Mexico, NY and switched to growing oranges in Florida in
1978.
Robert was born on July 14, 1935 to Henry and Helen Macy. In August
1954, he married his high school sweetheart (and is survived by) Lillian
Heiner Macy. He was the father of four children, three of which greeted
him in heaven, Robert Macy, Carole Macy and Kenneth Macy. He is
survived by his daughter Ellen Macy Gerberich (Charles), eight
grandchildren: James (Carrie) Knight, Megan Barnes, Kaya (Eric ) Miller,
Daniel (Natalie) Knight, Charissa (William) Knight, Helen (Nick) Dubov,
Hana (Jake) Muller, Lilann (Billy) Macy and 10 great grandchildren.
