STEVEN R. DRUMM
HORNELL-Steven R. Drumm, 63, of County Route 68 (Crosby Creek Road), died unexpectedly Friday morning (March 18, 2016) at Guthrie Troy Community Hospital in Troy, Pa. following a short illness.
Born at the former Bethesda Community Hospital in North Hornell on March 23, 1952, he was a son of the late Robert L. and Alice M. (Jackson) Drumm.
Steve was employed for many years for the NYSDOT in Hornell, retiring in 1987. In addition to his state employment, he also worked with his father for many years as a mechanic in the family business, Drumm’s Garage on the Crosby Creek Road; Steve took the business over after the death of his Dad in 1985 and operated the business until 2010.
A true outdoorsman, he enjoyed hunting, fishing and especially a good game of golf. He and his family was responsible for over 20 years of running the “Lucky 13†Golf Tournament at the 6S golf course in Angelica, N.Y. He also enjoyed repairing motor vehicles in his garage.
Steve is survived by his spouse, Vicki; his two daughters, Melissa and Tracy both of Hornell; his two loving brothers, Richard (Marcia) Drumm of Syracuse and Thomas Drumm of Hornell; his loving sister, Deborah (Bruce) Jackson of Dansville; his one very special grandson, Benny also of Hornell. He is also survived by a niece, four nephews and one great-nephew; also two step-daughters, Stephanie and Chris Wilson; two brothers-in-law, Terry and Ed Gibson; his sister-in-law, Shari Anderson; his father-in-law, Junior Gibson as well as his three aunts, many cousins and many wonderful friends and neighbors.
In addition to his parents, he was also predeceased by his niece, Emily in 1986 and his loving companion for many years, his Lab, Ginger, in 2014.

At Steve’s request, those wishing may contribute in his memory to the Hornell Area Humane Society, 7649 Industrial Park Road, Hornell, N.Y. 14843.
My Deepest Sympathy to each of you God truly has called home a wonderful man. Working indirectly with Steve, we would chat before work hours 3 or 4 times a week for years! Steve retired, he would drop in to say hi or to be updated. I will cherish those memories always. A man I was proud to know and to call my friend. May God provide strength and comfort always. RIP Steve
My cousin Steve, I love you with all my heart. You were like a brother to me, especially after my parents passed away. As I think back there are so many great memories we have. You were such a kind and loving person. You always had a smile and those eyes were always twinkling. You are now up in heaven with so many of our loved ones. You will truly be missed. Rest in peace my cous. Love Lynnie
Vicki,
So sorry to read this. My heart goes out to you and the entire family in sympathy. Steve was a good friend and a special person. Hopefully he is gambling happily at the big casino in the sky. Let me know if you need anything. RIP Steve.
Steve will be sadly missed. He was always so helpful. Anything I needed he was always willing to help. He was a great cousin and friend.
Tom and Debbie —
On behalf of “The Harolds” – your Crosby Creek neighbors — please accept our deepest sympathies. Steve was a great guy – great mechanic – and a wonderful brother and son. We were happy to share our childhood with all of your family. Sending much love…
One of the cousins that I used to raise hell with. Rest in peace Steve.
