Well Babe, It has now
been 9 years since you
have been physically gone
but very much alive in the
hearts of your family.
As I watch your daughters, grandchildren and
great-grandchildren
grow, I see so much of you
in them.
This being tax time our
clients talk about your
love and caring as they
come in.
Your family misses you
and are thankful for the
time we had with you
physically and now in our
hearts.
It’s hard to believe it
been has been a year since
you have been gone. Your
smile and quick wit have
been missed by all who
were fortunate to call you
family or friend. Although
we miss you immensely,
we would not bring you
back from the joy you now
experience. Until we see
you again, we love you.
Diane, Jerry, your children and grandchildren.
Bill and Family.

Distinguished Service Award, recognizing him as a national igure
in public higher education. Elwin
was a third generation brick
mason by trade, architect by profession, and skilled chef and wood
worker by hobby. In 1949 on the
outskirts of Troy, he designed and
built the family home, doing all
of his own construction. Over the
next 65 years he would continue
to design and build: outbuildings,
a clay tennis court, an arboretum,
and outdoor art. In 1976, Elwin built the
Poestenkill Power Corporation hydroelectric project, which generated electricity
on the property for many years. In his 70’s
and 80’s he became a proliic furniture
maker for his family. A renaissance man
and conservationist, Elwin was ahead of his
time. It was in the Navy where he learned
to play the game of cribbage, which later
in life became the basis of raucous family
tournaments. He was an avid Red Sox fan,
loathed the Yankees, and loved watching
women’s and men’s college basketball. He
was a skilled tennis and squash player, and
his booming voice could be heard among
friends who were “compelled” to wear their
tennis whites. Elwin had a sharp mind,
quick wit, and was a man of deep family
tradition; none of his children or grandchildren have ever missed a Christmas at the
family home. A big-hearted man, generous
friend, and devoted husband and father,
he will be deeply missed. A private family
memorial will be held later in the spring.
