Carl W. Vann
Carl W. Vann, age 85, of 110 E. Seneca Road, Trumansburg passed away in the embrace of his loving family on Thursday, November 14, 2002 at the Cayuga Medical Center.
The son of Fred and Mabel Armstrong Vann, Carl was born on December 26, 1916 in the Trumansburg home adjacent to his own residence which he designed and built over 50 years ago.
Following his graduation from the Trumansburg High School in 1936, Carl continued to work side by side with his father in construction. Together they built and remodeled numerous homes in the Trumansburg area and assisted with the building of a bridge on Route 89. As time progressed Carl accepted a position with Babcock's Poultry followed by many rewarding years with the Millspaugh Brothers Lumber and Hardware Store. While at Millspaugh's, Carl was able to put many of the principals learned from his father to work in the hand-crafting of custom cabinetry. He also developed life-long friendships with many of the co-workers at Millspaugh's.
Prior to his retirement in 1982, Carl had worked for the Finger Lakes State Parks Commission, first as a carpenter and later as Journeyman Supervisor. Carl was extremely proud of his many building accomplishments with the parks system.
There are but a few buildings in the village that Carl has not touched in some way with his gifted hands. In addition to the guidance given to each of his sons in the construction of their homes, Carl was pleased to assist with the building of the Presbyterian Chapel. He was instrumental in the first major remodeling of the United Methodist Church and in later years, the construction of their Sunday School rooms.
In his retirement years Carl served as Clerk-Of-The-Works for the construction of the Special Children's Center Residence on Seneca Road and the new Fire House on Route 96.
Carl was deeply involved in his community. He served as President of the Board of Trustees (and held almost every other position over the years) at the Trumansburg United Methodist Church. He also served on the Trumansburg Village Board during the 1960's and was Past Chief as well as an active member of the Trumansburg Volunteer Fire Dept. for over 64 years. Carl had also led the Trumansburg Seniors, as their President, for a few years.
He was a Past-Commander and long-time member of the Arthur E. Bouton American Legion Post #770 in Trumansburg stemming from his faithful service in the U.S. Army Air Force during World War II. He received an Honorable Discharge from the Army Air Force on July 10, 1945.
Carl could often be found outside tending his extensive vegetable garden that included his prolific rhubarb, (of which everyone in the neighborhood shared). He also enjoyed growing flowers with a special favoritism towards roses. From this nurturing came roses that didn't simply grow but roses that thrived and unfolded into breath-taking beauty.
Baseball was another great love of Carl's and for many years he played on a local town team. Other favorite past-times were horseshoes, stamp collecting and genealogy. Whether you sat next to Carl in church, worked beside him on a community project or met him on the street, Carl's gentle presence will be forever embedded in your heart. Carl's love, sense of humor and big-paw Grampa hands remained strong to the end and will be dearly missed by his loving family and the multitude of people who called him "friend".
Carl's heart was irreparably broken following the death of his devoted wife of 56 years, "B" Newman Vann on March 30, 2002. He is survived by 2 sons, Mark N. (Sonja) and Bruce C. (Karen) all of Trumansburg; 4 grandchildren, Matthew B., Justin M., Sally B. and Eliza A. Vann, all of Trumansburg and several in-laws, nieces and nephews.
A Memorial Service will be held at the Trumansburg United Methodist Church on Saturday, November 23, 2002 at 1:00 pm with the Rev. Deborah Pritts officiating. The family will be present to receive their friends, in the church hall, immediately following services.
In keeping with Carl's wishes, no calling hours have been scheduled and Prayers of Committal, at the Grove Cemetery, with a Military Tribute performed by members of the Trumansburg American Legion, will be private.
Contributions in Carl's memory may be directed to the Trumansburg United Methodist Church, P.O. Box 628, Trumansburg, NY 14886, the Trumansburg Ambulance Fund, P.O. Box 418, Trumansburg, NY 14886 or to the Arthur E. Bouton American Legion Post #770, P.O. Box 456, Trumansburg, NY 14886.

Wesley D. Millspaugh
Wesley D. Millspaugh of 5345 Curry Road, Trumansburg passed away at the Robert Packer Hospital in Sayre, Pennsylvania on Saturday, November 9, 2002 at the age of 83.
Born on June 20, 1919 in Ithaca, New York, Wes was the son of Frank and Ethel Hatt Millspaugh.
With a hard work ethic and clear entrepreneurial vision Wes purchased his first saw mill at the age of 16. Forming a partnership with his brother Art, the two started a roofing and siding business which earned enough profits to invest in a second saw mill in the late 1930's. They relocated this operation from Odessa to Interlaken. In 1944 Wes joined the Army Combat Engineer Corp and served in Germany during WW II. While in Germany he was placed in charge of ordering materials and timber to rebuild bridges over the Rhine River. He received an Honorable Discharge from the US Army on June 1, 1946.
The brother duo continued to grow their businesses with the purchase of the Carmen-Pearsall Lumberyard and the development of a ladder factory, all in the late 1940's. In 1958 they opened a 4,000 square foot retail hardware store to compliment the lumberyard. Wes was never truly retired because long after his twin sons, Denny and Doug assumed day to day operations of the business he would regularly show up to help out and was often sought out for his vast experience and knowledge.
Wes could often be found in his own shop at home turning out beautifully handcrafted wooden household items and novelties. Over the years he has invented and built a few unique things including a waterwheel, a wood elevator and a wood splitter. His creative talents allowed him the opportunity to complete displays for the Ulysses Historical Society and the First Baptist Church.
Wes was a quiet, relaxed family man with a special brand of humor who was deeply involved in his community. He was interested in youth programs and formerly headed the Trumansburg Rotary Club's Student Exchange Program where he served as host to many students from foreign lands who came to study in the Trumansburg High School. In addition to Rotary, Wes was a member of the First Baptist Church in Trumansburg and held board seats for both the Tompkins County Trust Company and Grove Cemetery. He was also a life-member of the Arthur E. Bouton American Legion Post #770 in Trumansburg.
In 1997, The Trumansburg Area Chamber of Commerce named Wes the "Citizen of the Year" for his many contributions to the community coupled with his sincere kindness and generosity to others.
Wes was preceded in death by his devoted wife of 49 years, Lillian M. "Sue" Tomkins Millspaugh on February 1, 1997. He is survived by three sons, Stephen (Maureen Gallagher), Dennis (Janet) and Douglas (Diane) all of Trumansburg; one daughter, Mary (George) Berry of Trumansburg; nine grandchildren, Colleen (Thomas) Civiletto, Eric (Annette), Adam, Brian, Emily and Amy Millspaugh, Geoffrey (Cassie) Reed, Molly (Mike VanHorn) Reed and Damon Reed; one great-grandson, Kaden Civiletto; one brother, Arthur (Betty) of Trumansburg and many nieces and nephews. Wes also had a plethora of friends, several of which have maintained a close relationship and have aided the family in "checking in" on Wes over the past few years. For this the family is forever grateful.
Services will be held at the First Baptist Church on Seneca Road in Trumansburg on Wednesday, November 13, 2002 at 11:00 am with the Rev. Pete Hood officiating. Prayers of Committal, with full military honors, will follow at the Grove Cemetery.
The family will be present to receive their friends at the Ness-Sibley Funeral Home, 23 South St, Trumansburg on Tuesday from 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm and from 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm. Friends may also see the family, at the church, on Wednesday from 10:00 am to 10:45 am.
Contributions in Wesley's memory may be directed to the First Baptist Church, P.O. Box 686, Trumansburg, NY 14886, the Arthur E. Bouton American Legion Post #770, P.O. Box 456, Trumansburg, NY 14886 or to the Trumansburg Volunteer Fire Dept., P.O. Box 418, Trumansburg, NY 14886.

Pat Armentano
Entrepreneur
Pat Armentano, 80, Chairman of the Board of Paraco Gas Corporation and a resident of Yonkers, New York passed away on February 20, 2010.
Pat was born on March 31, 1929 in Mount Vernon, New York, to Mary Fazio and Giuseppe Armentano of Sicily and Calabria, Italy. He was the youngest of 10 children.
Pat was a generous, kind, compassionate person who truly loved and lived life and all that it could offer. His success in business was a “rags to riches story.” Born from the Great Depression era, his success paled in comparison to his unique gift: a connection to people. His journey through life was a mosaic of fascinating stories and unique experiences, sometimes beyond belief! His gifts were apparent at the early age of nine when he purchased his mother a much-needed refrigerator with money he earned by shining shoes on the streets of the Bronx. At 16 he enlisted in the Marines and served in China. Upon leaving the military he worked as a milkman, a bread man and at various other jobs before marrying Rose Marie DiVenuto in September 1951 and starting a family. Shortly thereafter he landed a sales position with Forney Industries at age 25 where he was a top sales performer for the next 14 years. Sparked by the “entrepreneurial bug” in 1968, Pat risked everything he owned to start a welding supply and distribution business called Patsems Inc., based out of a tiny garage in Mount Vernon.
Despite lacking a formal education, he was a natural and talented entrepreneur and grew his company throughout the 1970s. In 1979, on instinct and with limited resources, he purchased Paraco Gas, a small propane marketer in Peekskill, New York. In 1986 the company purchased Suburban Propane on Long Island, which transitioned the business from a mom and pop to a corporate operation. Over the next 20 years, working with his wife and sons, the company grew into one of the nation’s premier propane retailers.
Throughout his life, Pat never forgot his roots, Italian heritage and commitment to those less fortunate. As Chairman of the Board at Paraco, he fostered a culture of giving back to the communities in which his company and employees lived and served by supporting many charitable and civic organizations. In what he felt was his most important role, patriarch of his family, Pat took great pride in teaching his life lessons and values to his children and grandchildren. He stressed a strong work ethic, personal responsibility and respect for oneself and others, all of which were the foundation of his truly genuine personality. Pat was predeceased by his loving wife Rose and is survived by his four sons- Joseph, Robert, Michael and John- 11 grandchildren, his brother Neal Armentano and sisters Betty Luma, Lou Pace and Anne Haslam.
