WATKINS GLEN- age 84, was born in Lexington Virginia and born into eternity on Thursday, December 23, 2021 at the Bath VA Medical Center.

He joined the Navy when he was 17 years old, serving on the USS Cassin Young which is now a museum in Boston. He came to Watkins Glen with a buddy while on leave. That is when he met his wife and quickly vowed to live in Watkins Glen. He worked at Woody's Body Shop in Corning for 26 years. He enjoyed cars and racing but his greatest joy was spending time with his grandchildren and great grandchildren. He also found joy investing in the lives of his family and friends.
A Celebration of Life in memory of Roy’s life will be at a later date. Everyone is invited to a graveside committal service with military honors on Thursday (Dec. 30) at 2:15pm at Montour Cemetery (TOP ENTRANCE).
We would like to thank all our family and friends for their prayers and support during this difficult time. Thank you to all Bath VA Medical Center staff that provided excellent care over the years. In lieu of flowers, those wishing to do so may remember Roy with a gift to the Moreland Presbyterian Church C/O Fran Thayer 43 King Road Beaver Dams, NY 14812 or to the Bath VA Voluntary Service 76 Veterans Avenue Bath, NY 14810.
