Also survived are grandchildren: David, Daryl, Darci, Anne, Stephany and 12 great-grandchildren; brothers-in-law: Clifford (Susan) Grant of Gasport, NY, Lee (Lori) Grant, and sister-in-law, Jean Grant, all of Middleport, NY.

Relatives and friends are invited to attend a graveside committal at 2 p.m. on Sat., July 24, 2021 at the Mount Pleasant Cemetery, Salt Works Rd., Medina, NY 14103.

Arrangements were made through the Bogan & Tuttle Funeral Home, 226 Pearl St., Medina, NY 14104.
