funeral home. The Rev. David McCarthy will officiate.

Funeral arrangements have been entrusted to the Harris Funeral Home

West St. at Buckley, Liberty, NY.

PS:

While the obituary says he was a member of VSA, it didn't mention that he was a Life member
in that organization. He was saddened by the recent turn of events in that organization and tried to
return the club to the membership. He felt the current leadership ignores democratic procedures,
the recent staged elections (of the past few years) and gerrymandering are inexcusable.

He became a member of VCOA at the end and wanted to continue to work for the good of the 1800 owner.

He will be sorely missed by all those he helped with his vast knowledge all-knowing advice.
