RIP Robert "Bob" Baxter

[Oswegowind 17]

It is with deepest regret that I announce the passing of my Grandfather, Robert "Bob" Baxter. He left us on Father's Day at about 1:30pm and was in the company of his wife Theresa Baxter. Bob was a life member of the Buchanan Fire Department, however not actively involved for a number of years. He worked as a letter carrier for the United States Post Office as a career, and was well known around Buchanan because of that. He helped start the Cortland National Little League with Ray Seaboldt and others. He also served as president of the little league for many years, even after his children had grown out of it and even after is grand-children had played in the league and also moved on, Bob continued to do what he could for other's children and the youth of the area. As well, upon retirement he started mowing lawns to keep busy and employed a number of local youth who were troubled or had difficulty finding and holding onto work. He was very civic minded and he and his wife were actively involved in the church they belong to, Trinity-Boscobel United Methodist, also located in Buchanan for as long as I can, or anyone can remember. Bob and his wife were married for 58 years. He is survived by 3 brothers, 1 aunt, his wife, 3 children, 8 grandchildren, and 4.5 great grandchildren, and a lot of loving friends and relatives!

Arragements:

Tuesday, June 17 - Cortland Funeral Home, viewing: 2-4 pm and 7-9 pm (97 Broadway, Verplanck NY)

Wednesday, June 18 - Trinity-Boscobel United Methodist Church, Funeral: 11 am (Corner of Henry St. and Church St, Buchanan NY)
