CONWAY, Ark. - Sonja Heinze Coryat, 90, of Conway, Arkansas, and formerly of Oneonta, passed away peacefully on March 9, 2021, in Conway. She was born on Sept. 30, 1930, in Queens, the daughter of Gustav and Ernestine (Clausen) Heinze. A Korean War veteran, "Sunny," as she was affectionately known, served in the U.S. Air Force as a radio mechanic and later a public relations officer in the Pentagon. A gifted writer, Sonja wrote a syndicated consumer-interest column, "The Curious Shopper," for King Features from 1983 to 2000, which appeared in more than 200 newspapers nationwide. Her driving force in later years was to have her memoir, "Sunny: Ward of the State," read by every person possible. She gave a copy to everyone she met. She and her son, Karl, searched out roadside Little Free Libraries and placed her book in many of them. An animal lover, Sunny was fiercely independent. She was artistic, painting and working in pastels. She also loved to cook and had an eclectic taste in music and art. Of all her accomplishments, she was most proud of raising five strong, smart children. She is survived by her daughter, Kim Coryat of Conway, Arkansas, her son, John Coryat of Memphis, Tennessee, her daughter, Laura Coryat of Rhinebeck, her son, Jim Coryat of Mora, New Mexico; and her son, Karl Coryat of Conway, Arkansas; grandchildren, Francesca Harris of West Boylston, Massachusetts and Catherine Coryat of Memphis, Tennessee; several great-grandchildren; her

ONEONTA - Joan DiMartin passed away Thursday, March 11, 2021. Joan was born Aug. 9, 1930, in Oneonta, the daughter of Lawrence and Beatrice (Perry) Smith. Joan attended Oneonta schools, graduating from OHS in 1948. After graduation she was employed by the NYS Health Department for several years.

Thomas (Barbara); grandchildren, Kristina Brady (Judson), Jennifer Perkins (Jason), Douglas, Theresa and Maria DiMartin; greatgrandchildren, Jackson Brady and Tanner Perkins; and brother-in-law, Otto Huhta. Joan was predeceased by her sister, Marie Huhta and brother, Richard Smith. At Joan's request there will be no calling hours. A service will be held at the convenience of the family.

WORCESTER - P. Elliott DuBois passed away Thursday, Feb. 25, 2021, at 10:45 p.m., at Fox Nursing Home in Oneonta. Thankfully, the family was able to be at his side at various times during his final days before "going home," for which he was prepared and eagerly awaiting. Paul Elliott, known as Elliott because his father's name was Paul, was born in Binghamton, to Paul Jasper DuBois and Imogene (Ackley) DuBois on Dec. 28, 1933. Later came the birth of his only sibling, Marion (DuBois) Butler (husband, Steve Butler). Elliott studied music at the Potsdam Crane School of Music and was also very active in the theater program. He graduated with a degree in music education and later completed his master's degree. In his sophomore year in college, he was a part of a touring male quartet, which happened to be touring with a female trio, which happened to have my mother in it..... Long story short, Elliott was married to Patricia Locke DuBois on Sept. 5, 1953. They enjoyed 67 years of marriage together and were each other's best friends. Soon came five children, Ronald Paul DuBois (wife, Diana Miller DuBois), John Craig DuBois (wife, Laurel Favreau DuBois), Gerald William DuBois, Philip Edward DuBois (Angela Smith), and Anita (DuBois) Cleveland (husband, Christopher Cleveland). From these children came a gaggle of grand, great-grand, and great-great -grandchildren on which they showered their love and affection. His career of 27 years at Worcester Central School, starting in 1961, was one that would touch hundreds of lives. Elliott's love of music and teaching was trans-

ferred to his students at WCS and is evident in the outpouring of well-wishes upon hearing of his passing. He began his teaching career at Worcester teaching vocal music, then moved to instrumental music. In 1968 he started musical shows which continued to gain popularity throughout his career, even after his retirement in June of 1988. After retirement, he and Pat volunteered as ombudsmen for various nursing and adult facilities in the area. Elliott also directed a community choir in Davenport for many years, his wife Pat being the accompanist. Above all his accomplishments, Elliott's faith in God was the foundation of all he did. Although he will be dearly missed, we know that he is busy conducting heavenly choirs until we are all together again. Because of current conditions, we will not have a formal gathering to remember Elliott, but please know that we have been touched by the outpouring of love and thoughts shared with us and will pass this along to all family. Arrangements are with Heller & Skinner Funeral Home, 155 Main St., Worcester. Expressions of sympathy may be made online at www.hellerskinnerfh.com.

Dad was a child of the Great Depression. Born on Jan. 3, 1930, he was the third and youngest child born to immigrants Arthur and Bridget (Connors) Johansen of New Hyde Park. This son of a fisherman was instilled from birth with a strong work ethic, pride in family, a sense of service to his nation and his fellow man, a spirit of adventure, and the ability to find joy in the simplest of life's offerings. He lived and died a loving and well-loved man of honor and integrity. He loved and took great pride in his family. He married the love of his life, Marie (Murphy) Johansen, in August 1958 and they grew a large Irish Catholic family adding two sons and six daughters to the family tree. We grew up listening to him singing "When Irish Eyes Are Smiling" and "Beautiful, Beautiful Brown Eyes" to Mom and "You Are My Sunshine" to us, his grandchildren and his greatgrandchildren. No occasion needed - he was famous for his impromptu renditions of any number of great Irish

J Carl Johansen Jan. 3, 1930 - Feb. 14, 2021 songs, sometimes to the chagrin of his daughters in their teen years. The man loved to sing to those he loved and paid no mind to anyone else that may have been within earshot. Dad spent many years after his retirement from the New York State Insurance Department researching the family history. Long before the advent of Ancestry.com and the multitude of current family-tracing software and services available, his research took him on trips around the world to include Norway, Canada and Ireland, to peruse paper-based archives and interview distant relatives. We have a ton of stories and anecdotes passed down of life in his younger years...his love for his Indian Chief and Harley Davidson WWII '42 WLA "Basket Case" motorcycles, his fishing trips with his father, his courtship with Mom, tales of his experiences in the Army during the Korean War and of course the time his Aunt Nelly stopped speaking to his mother for a while because then 5 year-old Dad stuck his tongue out at her from beneath the kitchen table! His sense of adventure and spirit of service permeate our memories. He was an active member of the American Legion Wharton Valley Post 1311. He spent many years as a Boy Scout leader and volunteer. As his daughters matriculated

Love

through the Girl Scout program he could be found under the hood of a car with the girls teaching automotive maintenance or out in his shop working with his wide assortment of tools. Camping and canoeing were a favorite family activity. Dad remains famous among friends and former neighbors in Brooklyn for building a wooden canoe in the backyard of our brownstone, then solving the dilemma of how to get the finished product out of that small backyard by routing it through the windows on the second story of the building to pass it through to the front of the house. We will never forget the many tales told and lessons garnered along the hikes and paddles. Dad was an avid stamp collector and developed many relationships around the world that began with the trading of stamps and blossomed into true friendships. His grandchildren spent many hours perusing his stamp books with him and "helping" him from the time they were toddlers. He cherished this time and was diligent in setting aside special stamps according to their interests for them to start their own collections. Carl will be greatly missed by his family and friends. He is survived by his wife of 62 years, Marie (Murphy) Johansen and all eight of his children, Art (Jody) Johansen, Carl (Rita) Johansen, Maureen (Steve)

Tremaine, Diane (Norm) Hait, Donna Dorminey, Carol (Ralph) Fasano, Mary Cox and Laurie (Seth) Briggs. He also leaves a hole in the hearts of his 21 grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren. He was predeceased by his parents; brother, Arthur Johansen; sister, Margaret Johansen; son-in-law, Warren Cox; and great-grandson, Christopher BriggsLoy. Carl's funeral Mass will be celebrated April 24, at Saint Teresa of the Infant Jesus Catholic Church in New Berlin. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made in Carl's name to the Edmeston EMS Squad, who have always been there in time of any need, great or small. A thoughtful donation to a charity of personal significance in his memory would also be a most appreciated recognition of his spirit of service to others.

Philip N. Koerner Jan. 3, 1945 - March 8, 2021 DECATUR - Phil Koerner, 76, passed away on March 8, 2021. He was predeceased by his wife, Lorraine and is survived by daughter, Kristine; son, Philip, and grandchildren, Samantha, Jacob and Maddison. Phil was a United States Navy veteran. He worked for the D&H Railroad and finished his 30+ year career retiring from Amtrak. Phil's love of the outdoors, hunting and fishing kept him busy. There were many outings and trips with family and friends over the years. Those trips, and every other day, were filled with talking and storytelling. With his stories you were always listening but not always sure if they were true or a "whopper." Being social with almost everyone was something that he enjoyed. Going to Stewart's for a cup of tea, never coffee, with friends was a favorite pastime and of course, time for more stories! With his passing we have lost someone special and important. Life will be a lit-

tle quieter for a while but the memories of those stories, the caring he showed, and good times together will bring smiles and fond memories later on. Although he will be missed, we will cherish our time together forever. Expressions of sympathy may be shared online at www.hellerskinnerfh.com.

Robert A. Llewellyn Nov. 22, 1960 - March 19, 2021 MILLERS MILLS - On Friday, March 19, 2021, Robert A. Llewellyn of Millers Mills, father, farmer, welder and adventurer, passed away at 60. Robert was born at an undisclosed location in Madison County, on Nov. 22, 1960, to Al and Judy Llewellyn. He grew up a wild child, the youngest of six, in Richfield Springs, where he graduated high school in 1978. He joined the U.S. Navy while still 17 and traveled the world - crossing north into the Arctic Circle and south across the Equator. While serving his four years, he visited Central America, western Europe, the Middle East and Africa, and loved telling stories about those journeys. After leaving the Navy, he worked on both his uncle's dairy farm and for the NYS Thruway Authority. He married Susan M. Stanley in 1984 and soon after came his three children, Courtney, Derek and Kyle. He passed his love of adventure down to them, ensuring they experienced as much of the world as he could give them. Robert loved to travel and ride his motorcycle, watch NASCAR, solve crossword puzzles and spend an entire three-day weekend on Bourbon Street. He was a collector of experiences. He had a laugh and a mustache like

ONEONTA - Virginia B. Miner was a good person who had a well-lived life. Ginny traveled many miles since she was the only student in her grade at the one-room school in Colchester, part of the Walton School District. Later, she attended Franklin Central School and graduated at age 16 from Sidney where the business and bookkeeping courses prepared her well for the future. Her first job was at Public and Loan in Sidney and then as bookkeeper at Hotaling Ford Sales, where she fell in love with cars. She was very proud of her 34 year career at New York State Electric & Gas, attaining the highest customer service representative position. Among her colleagues and customers, she was known as the "go to" problem solver. Ginny understood the value of life learning and throughout her life enrolled in courses at SUNY Oneonta and Delhi. A skilled bowler, her team routinely went to the NYS Championships. Ginny traveled with friends for every vacation. Las Vegas was an annual destination. At 63, she retired and regularly traveled on bus trips and cruises with Eastern Travel; Alaska, Hawaii, Canada and Nashville were her favorites. She was an avid reader and enjoyed life stories about people. There wasn't a dog she didn't love, especially Zaza. In retirement Ginny committed herself to volunteer work. A member of Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Sidney, she was honored as Parishioner of the Year in 2011. She maintained a leadership role in NYSEG Oneonta Quarter Century Club, ensuring that a clam bake and a pancake breakfast would be enjoyed by long serving employees. Ginny was active in the Sidney Alumni Association and was instrumental in organizing Class of '53 reunions. A cancer survivor, Ginny was active in the local ACS

Relay For Life. She served on the Catskill Symphony Orchestra's administrative council and was a key organizer of the Christmas gift wrapping fundraiser. She volunteered at Saturday's Bread for more than 15 years and was a respected member of the A.O. Fox Hospital Auxiliary. Ginny was predeceased by her parents, Raymond A. Miner and Alba M. (France) Miner; and sister, Anna Mae (Miner) Light. She was also predeceased by her niece, Grace Ann (Light) Fink and nephew, Glenn Arthur Light. She is survived by nephews, Raymond John Light (Joan) and Roger Ervin Light (Chris). Also surviving are many dear and caring friends she also considered family, key among them, Peg Froelich. Friends were to call from 10 to 11 a.m., March 8, at C.H. Landers Funeral Chapel, 21 Main St., Sidney. A funeral Mass was to follow at 11 a.m. from Sacred Heart Church, 15 Liberty St., Sidney. Committal services will be in Walton Cemetery at a later date. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations in Ginny's name may be made to Susquehanna SPCA, 4841 Route 28, Cooperstown, NY 13326. Arrangements are under the direction of C.H. Landers Funeral Chapel, Sidney. Condolences and memories may be shared online at www.landersfh.com.

on their vacations and day trips. Dorothy also enjoyed every moment she had with her grandsons, Justin and Mason Norton. They were a great joy in her life. She always called them Nana's boys. Dorothy loved to host and participate in many gatherings bringing people together. She was the Queen of planning our large family and friends events. Dorothy enjoyed attending Chinese auctions, playing bingo, going on road trips to the casino with her partner in crime, Kelly Boughton and son, Kevin Norton. She loved planting flowers, spending time with her dogs, Holly and Roxy, and overall, just enjoyed life. Dorothy was one of the most caring, kind-hearted people you could meet. With her passing, we have lost someone so beautiful and so important. Life as we know it will never be the same without her. We will cherish many laughs and memories that she has touched us with. A celebration of life will be hosted this summer for friends and family to gather to remember the joys we had with Dorothy. Arrangements are by the Bookhout Funeral Home, Oneonta. To send the family an online condolence please visit www.bookhoutfuneralhome. com.

COOPERSTOWN - A wonderful mother and beloved friend, Wanda Joan Filipski Noyes, 98, passed away peacefully on the morning of Wednesday, March 24, 2021, in Cooperstown. Born on April 4, 1922, Wanda was the middle of three daughters of Michael and Michelina Filipski, immigrants from Poland who raised a family of six children in a small tidy home, with an expansive garden, up high on Center Street in Little Falls. A lifelong lover of reading, Wanda received her primary and secondary education in the Little Falls schools and earned an associate degree at Utica College, lovingly funded by her older brother, Jim. Wanda passed on her love of reading, a strong vocabulary and higher education to her family. A caring and devoted wife and mother, Wanda married Jackson Wood Noyes Sr., a student at the Cobleskill Technology Institute, in April 1948. Three years later, following his graduation, Wanda and Jack bought and moved into a small dairy farm on Bartlett Road in Springfield Center, where they lived throughout their married life. At first they operated their small dairy farm, with Jack supplementing their income with night shift fac-

tory work, and Wanda growing, harvesting, canning and freezing produce from her amazing garden. Jack taught Wanda to drive, lessening her isolation. In 1962, they sold the dairy cows, and Jack worked in sales and then owned small businesses, while Wanda returned to her profession. Together they raised and educated three children and enjoyed their marriage of 47 years, until Jack's death in 1995. Throughout their time on Bartlett Road, they improved their home and property, gardened expertly, planted many trees, and were good environmental stewards. Wanda passed on her consummate gardening skills, love of the environment, expert cooking and baking skills and enjoyment of nature to her family. A thoughtful and responsible professional, Wanda began her career as secretary to a judge, and, later after marriage, served as secretary for the chief of surgery and research at Mary Imogene Bassett Hospital in Cooperstown for more than 30 years. Wanda felt pride at the hospital's expert medical care, love for her many friends and respect for the accomplishments of colleagues. Wanda passed on her respect for conscientious work, timeliness and

science to her family. Throughout her long life, Wanda was lifted up by her faith in God and, after making her home at the Thanksgiving Home, joined the Christ Episcopal Church, Cooperstown. She was also a member of the Order of the Eastern Star. Wanda's loving survivors include her three children, daughter, Claudia Noyes Griffiths and husband, Michael Edward of Camden, Maine, son, Jackson Wood Noyes Jr. and wife, Yasmin Li of Palm Harbor, Florida, and daughter, Lyndall Joan Noyes-Brownell and husband, David John Brownell of Black Mountain, North Carolina; sister, Helyn Oliver of Pasadena, California; grandchildren, Brittany Tomlinson Griffiths of Sacramento, California, Robert Jackson Noyes of Olympia Valley, California, and Megan Spencer Noyes and her wife, Lydia Charlotte Noyes, of Concord, California; and great-granddaughter, Audrey Charlotte Noyes of Concord, California. Many other family and friends, including Patricia Spencer Noyes and nieces and nephews with spouses and families, also remember Wanda with love. Wanda's family shares its deep and eternal gratitude for the love, care and kind-

Love

ness of the wonderful care team and residents of Clara Welch Thanksgiving Home, where Wanda lived so happily since 2008. Words cannot express the gratitude and love for this fine extended family. The Ottman Funeral Home is handling Wanda's cremation and, following a service to be held after the pandemic has lessened, burial will be next to her husband in Salisbury Cemetery. Memorial gifts, in lieu of flowers, may be made to the Thanksgiving Fund (a 501c3), Clara Welch Thanksgiving Home, c/o Melissa Vilacky, RN, Administrator, 48 Grove St., Cooperstown, NY 13326.

Friends and family were invited to call from 4 to 6 p.m. Saturday, March 13, at Johnston & Stanimer Funeral Home, Morris.

SIDNEY - Janet Deana Rude, 81, peacefully went to be with the Lord on Monday, March 22, 2021, at UHS Delaware Valley Hospital, following a long illness. Janet was born June 28, 1939, in Sidney, the daughter of Robert and Margery (Willis) Martin. Janet retired from Amphenol Corporation, Sidney, as a planner/expediter after 38 years of service where she was a respected member of the planning team. She then became the manager of Valley View Apartments, Laral Management Company for another 10 years before finally deciding to fully retire and spend some time traveling to visit family and friends 'before it's too late.' She enjoyed many bus trips over the next few years as well as had many wonderful memories of the good times had. Janet was a hardworking, straight talking, 'tell it like it is' woman and made no apologies for it (we expected none). It was not unusual for her to knock on her neighbors doors to check on them and offer a bowl of homemade soup or stew or maybe some freshly baked muffins (she might get a nice dish of homemade rice pudding in return). She often got together with her friends, Genie, Cheryl and Linda to have

coffee or a cocktail. Jan looked forward to greeting her 'adopted son' Bill each morning with piping hot coffee and again at lunchtime to catch up with the day. They were joined on occasion by her dear friend, Kathy, when she was in town. While reminiscing recently, she told of a time in her younger years when she would ride along with her brother doing reconnaissance work while he was investigating divorce cases (this helped her develop a particular skill when asked by a friend to check up on a cheating husband). Janet's family and friends were most important to her. She always said, "You only get one shot at this life. There are no 'do-overs' so make sure you use the time wisely because it will be over before you know it." Good advice for sure. Anyone who went to visit her would have seen her favorite little sign, "If it has tires or testicles, it's gonna give you trouble." She was blessed by all those who were a part of her life and we were blessed by hers. Surviving Janet are her children, daughters, Teri (Ritchie) Moore, Oneonta and Vicki (Robert) Ives, Guilford; sons, Scott (Patti) Finch, Sidney and Jason

Love

(Melissa) Rude, Franklin; grandchildren, Jarrett (Megan) Moore, Nate (Lindsay) Ives, Matt (Diana) Ives, Megan (Joe) D'Introno, Deana Rude, Chelsea Rude, Kelli Jankura, Dylan Henchey and Brittany Finch; nine (soon to be 10) great-grandchildren; brothers, Lamont (Marylee) Martin and Joe (Laurie) Hollenbeck; son-in-law, Patrick Henchey; and her 'adopted' children, Bill Barringer and Kathy Pickering. She was predeceased by her father, Robert Eugene Martin, killed in Germany, March 6, 1946; mother, Margery Martin Hollenbeck; stepfather, Irving Hollenbeck; daughter, Linda Henchey; granddaughter, Jaime Rudnitsky; and most recently her lifelong friend; Janice Gill. In this time of COVID, the family gives thanks to Kyle at the Great American; Corky at Chambers/O'Hara and Nancy Hicks and Larry Graves for taking our mom's grocery orders and delivery every week for the past year. God Bless all of you. We are all so very thankful for the generosity, kindness and service to the community in a very difficult time, particularly for the elderly who have been confined for way too long. Recently, mom looked forward to Thursdays ordering

lunch from Club 55 and they always delivered with a smile. Thanks also to Denise Tabone for the many massages over the past few years that brought mom such joy, but mostly for your friendship and the laughs. Because of COVID restrictions, there will be no calling hours. In lieu of donations, the family requests donations to a charity of choice or just check in on an elderly neighbor, friend or family member who may be feeling isolated or lonely and just need to hear a friendly voice. Share condolences and memories with the family at www.landersfh.com. Arrangements are under the direction of C.H. Landers Funeral Chapel, Sidney.

LOVE & REMEMBRANCE ~ THE DAILY STAR

GILBERTSVILLE - John S. Rowe of Gilbertsville, joined family and friends that have gone before him on March 7, 2021. John was born on Jan. 7, 1938, to James and Wilma (Blankley) Rowe. He and his 12 siblings lived and worked on the family farm. John graduated from Gilbertsville Central School. He later would marry and live there for all of his days. John had many professions including chicken farmer, factory worker, handyman, root beer maker, caretaker and best son, brother, husband, father, grandfather, brother-in-law, neighbor and friend you could ever have the good fortune to meet. He kept things simple. His love for hillbilly music and knowing only a few choice lines to songs was well known. He took care of his family, extended family and anyone else that needed care. He would make his rounds on his golf cart for coffee, to catch up on all the news, or just to say hi. John would lend a helping hand, hammer, wrench or whatever it took to anyone and everyone. You would often see him on his John Deere going up Route 51 to mow the lawn at the Major's Inn or somewhere else. He put in countless hours "volunteering" at the Inn or someone's house, definitely a jack-ofall-trades, master at most. If you had his acquaintance then you knew a truly beautiful man. John leaves behind his loving wife of 57 years, Ce-

MILFORD Shirley Daniels Schimmelfing was born on her grandparents' Ford Homestead in Morris, on March 30, 1924, and died on March 11, 2021, at Fox Nursing Home, Oneonta. Raised on the Daniels' farm with her older brother Paul, she attended the oneroom schoolhouse in Holmesville, then graduated from South New Berlin, and earned her bachelor's and master's degrees from Oneonta. She taught in St. Johnsville, and Binghamton before finding her niche teaching fourth grade in Endicott. She made many friends at the Broad Street and Henry B. Endicott Schools. She married Cleon Schimmelfing in 1952 and together they raised Marie and Keith in Cleon's family home in Endicott. Active at First United Methodist Church, Endicott she never forgot her Baptist roots. Her faith was central to her long, happy life. In retirement, Shirley and Cleon relocated to Milford, and wintered in Acadia, Florida. Shirley loved being a "snowbird." Later she

lived with her daughter and son-in-law in Milford until residing at Fox Nursing Home. Shirley loved to sew and made most of her own clothes, dresses for her daughter and granddaughters and many doll clothes. She was always knitting or doing counted cross-stitch — her countless children's sweaters are worn all over the country. Teaching, especially her fourth graders, and sharing her love of needle arts with others, were two of her lifelong joys. In her memory, please teach a child one of your passions and share the joy. The family thanks the Unit 3 Fox Nursing Home staff for their outstanding care. Her family, Marie (Snapper), Keith (Elena); grandchildren, Erin (Jordan), Kimberly, Allan and Ryan; great-grandsons, David, James, Isaac and Adam, celebrate her wonderful life. A gathering will be held later this summer at Marie and Snapper's Milford home. Arrangements are under the care of Tillapaugh Funeral Service, Cooperstown.

March 28, 1948 - March 9, 2021 his oldest sister, Carol Ann Dingman and husband, Ken of Winter Garden, Florida. As loving and supportive siblings, Carol and Roger were always there for each other. Their relationship was one in a million led by childhood rivalry and adventure, yet at the root, a deep bond based on mutual admiration, respect and love. He is also survived by his sister, Marie Guerra and husband, Vincent. Even at a young age, Roger always considered it his duty to protect Marie, whom he loved dearly. Also surviving are nieces, greatnephews and many cousins who Roger considered dear friends and a blessing. His best friend Lou Gimelli was always a source of encouragement and kindness and will forever be considered family. Joe and Elaine Demarse were family but also friends. Sporty, Roger's pocket Beagle and other best friend, will miss their many walks in the woods and naps on the couch. Roger's passing leaves a hole in the hearts of many. Roger worked selflessly and tirelessly in the operation of two successful automobile dealerships, Skinner Sales in Herkimer and Skinner & Damulis in Richfield Springs. He had great admiration, love and respect for all of his employees to whom he was always grateful for all their efforts and counted them as family. He also lovingly considered his customers a part of the family and made each of them feel special. Roger was a graduate of Clarkson College of Technology with a bachelor's degree in industrial engineering and distribution. He also received an associate degree from Fulton Montgomery Community College. He loved his challenging occupation as plant manager at Niagara Mohawk Power Company but after 14 years, he knew it

was time to return to the family business, Skinner & Damulis, in Richfield Springs. One year later, he opened a second dealership, Skinner Sales in Herkimer with two of his daughters. Roger proudly maintained the dealerships as a family business of unparalleled integrity. He received many appointments and awards over the years while in a demanding industry, all while balancing his faith and family. He proudly accepted the nomination of the Time Magazine Quality Dealer Award. He proudly served the National Automobile Dealers Association as a board member for many years. Roger proudly sat on many other industry boards and committees throughout the many years as an automotive dealer. Always putting community first and foremost, Roger was extremely active in civic affairs, especially the Rotary Club for nearly 40 years. Both his father, Hiram Skinner and his fatherin-law, Edward Kitts were lifelong members of the Rotary Club. Roger served as president and assistant district governor of Rotary and was always there to serve at a spaghetti dinner and stayed until every dish was washed. He was always active in all Rotary civic projects and events, but especially loved being the director of "Books for the World," which sends books to Third World countries all over the world in large shipping containers that are repurposed for libraries and classrooms. Roger lived by the motto of the Rotary Club, "Service Over Self." Roger also loved belonging to the Genesis Group that shared his hope for the Mohawk Valley and the Utica NANO Center. He served on the board of directors at Folts Home in Herkimer for many years. Roger was a previous trustee for the Village of

Herkimer. He served as on the board of directors for the Herkimer County BOCES, Herkimer County Community College, and both the Herkimer County and Otsego County Chamber of Commerce. Roger was very active with the American Red Cross, serving on the board of directors and receiving their Great Heroes "Man of the Year" Award. He also considered it his civic duty to donate blood any chance he could and was very sad when his health would no longer allow him to donate. Roger had a strong love for his country along with those who served to protect it, always supporting troops past and present. It was a great honor of his to send many W.W.II veterans to visit Washington D.C., and to see the beautiful memorial that was built in their honor. Roger belonged to the Twitchell Creek Club, a hunting camp near Big Moose in the expansive Adirondack Mountains. He helped build the large log cabin from perfectly picked out trees over the span of seven summers. He loved camp and being the camp cook. It brought him much laughter and many lifelong friendships, especially Gregg and Toni Rudd. He counted himself blessed to hold them dear to his heart. Roger was a dedicated and loyal man. He had a relationship with God that he shared with many people and he will surely be welcomed to Heaven hearing, "Well done, good and faithful servant." Then, he may see his "Ma" and they will share maple walnut ice cream together just like old times. Roger loved to read. He always had about four books started at different reading spots around the house including a book, "Who Will Cry When You Die." The answer, We All Cried When You Died.

The family expresses its sincere and heartfelt gratitude to Dan Enea from Mohawk Valley Funerals from Little Falls. Thank you for your genuine friendship to Roger both personally and professionally with Rotary. You truly are essential during this difficult time of uncertainty. Roger shared his love for reading with the world and was currently preparing pallets of Books for the World to be shipped overseas just a few days before his passing. Kindly consider a memorial contribution in his memory to "The Roger Skinner Books for the World Fund, c/o AmeriCU Bank, 326 E State St., Herkimer, NY 13350. Roger J. Skinner was always looking to make the world and his corner of New York a better place. In Roger's own words, "It's a beautiful day in the Mohawk Valley." Roger and his family's care has been placed in the trust of Mohawk Valley Funerals and Cremations, 7507 State Route 5 (corner of Bidelman Road), Little Falls, 315-508-5131. A memorial service will take place at the convenience of the Skinner family. There are no calling hours.

His large and loving family who were blessed to share him with the world are his beautiful wife, Mary Kitts Skinner; his three "favorite" daughters, Melanie, Cynthia and Sarah. All three were his favorite daughter as he would often introduce them. They loved and adored their dad and will miss his warm hugs. All three picked up special traits from him. Melanie received his unparalleled work ethic and love for people. Cynthia received his willingness to drop everything to help someone in need. Sarah received his love of art and the outdoors. Roger was proud of his family far beyond what words could express. Roger leaves behind Melanie Kimball and husband, James Kimball and their daughter, Sahara Rose Kimball, who shared the same birthday; Cynthia and husband, Samuel Lamanna III, and their children, Victoria Leogrande, who he shared his loving heart, and her husband, Christian Leogrande and Samuel Roger Jay "RJay" Lamanna IV, who shared his name; Sarah and husband, Michael Demarse and their son, Brady Elias Demarse, who shared the twinkle in his eye. He loved each of their uniqueness and celebrated them by teaching, working and relaxing together. He always said about his sons-in-law that they were brought into the family and were handpicked specially by God for each of his daughters. He had a peace knowing that Jim, Sam, and Mike would take good care of his girls and he bragged about them every chance he got. He was extremely proud of his family for what they have accomplished and will accomplish, and their love for others and compassion for mankind. Rogers' dreams of life were happy, complete and full. Roger also leaves behind

WHITESBORO - Roger Jay Skinner, 72, of Whitesboro, passed away on Tuesday, March 9, 2021. The Skinner family lost its hero peacefully and yet unexpectedly at Upstate Medical Center in Syracuse. Roger was born on March 28, 1948, in Herkimer, son of the late Hiram J. and Leanor (Helmer) Skinner. Roger was joyfully united in marriage on July 27, 1968, to Mary L. Kitts in Richfield Springs, his childhood sweetheart. They met in the kindergarten class at Richfield Springs School. They were soulmates and best friends. The couple enjoyed a blessed and adventurous life together of nearly 53 years. Their profound love for each other will forever live on, even though separated momentarily in death. Roger was a dedicated, generous, kind and loving man who had an unwavering devotion to God, his family, civic duty and friends. Selflessly, he was always generous and ready to lend a hand to anyone, especially if it included his favorite pastime, cutting down trees. You could always count on Roger to wish you a happy birthday on Facebook, whether you were down the street or on the other side of the world. He will be greatly missed by many who knew him to be the amazing man of integrity that the Mohawk Valley and his friends and family were blessed with and saw firsthand his Heart of Gold. He was truly a great man and a friend to all. He was always ready with an interesting history lesson of the area he proudly called home. He was that "Nice Guy" who you thought only existed as a myth. Roger was a mentor and role model to many. A true gentleman. The best boss in the world. His cowboy hat and smile could be seen from the other side of the golf course.

David William Rainsford Wawro April 23, 1950 - Feb. 21, 2021 DELHI - David William Rainsford Wawro, loving husband, father, and son, passed away on Feb. 21, 2021, while cross-country skiing, with family and friends beside him. He was born in Hartford, Connecticut, on April 23, 1950. David's sense of adventure was unmatched. He was an avid and accomplished horseback rider, back-country skier and cyclist. He loved hiking, camping, whitewater kayaking and canoeing, tennis and squash, and ice skating. He traveled extensively with his family, including to Ukraine, Syria, Russia, and throughout Europe and South America. David loved music, and played piano beautifully. David was the Head of Litigation at Torys LLP in New York. He was an expert in a remarkably broad range of legal disciplines, ranging from antitrust and commercial law to human rights and constitutional law. He had a passion for social justice and pro bono causes. He graduated from Brown University in 1973 (cum laude). He spent the year following working at Rhode Island Legal Services. In 1977, he received his JD from the University of Virginia School of Law, and was admitted to the New York bar in 1978. He attended the Loomis Chaffee school, from which he graduated in 1968. With a scholarship from the EnglishSpeaking Union, he spent a year at Wrekin College in Shropshire, England. David was deeply dedicated to his family. He met his wife, Elizabeth (Butch) Walker in 1981 in New York City. They married in 1983, and had their daughter

Leah in 1988. They moved from New York City to Delhi, in 1991. He shaped an exceptional life, balancing his work as a lawyer with his love for the outdoors — arriving home after work to feed animals, ski with a headlamp, or, when the moon was bright enough, take a late-night ride on his horses. He loved the land around their home, in all weather, and will be buried there. He is survived by his wife, Elizabeth Walker; daughter, Leah Wawro; mother, Judith Wawro; as well as siblings, Peter Wawro, Mark Wawro, Gillian Weatherhead, George Wawro and Geoffrey Wawro. David was a man of integrity, intelligence, loyalty and kindness. He will be profoundly missed. The family requests those that wish to express sympathy to consider making a donation to a charity that was close to David's heart: Friends of the Bramley Mountain Fire Tower, which he had hoped to see reconstructed and would have hiked to often; the Karam Foundation, which supports Syrian refugees; and the New York Legal Assistance Group, with which he worked on pro bono cases.
