Bonnie has been a dear friend of ours since our days at Alfred University (1958-1962). She and Bill hosted many reunions at their home on Keuka Lake that are fondly remembered. Her kindness and her wise encouraging words helped during rough spots of our lives. Warm memories of her will live on in our hearts and minds! We love you! Ann and Bob
Bob and I are still in shock after hearing of Bonnie’s sudden passing last Monday. She has been a dear friend of ours since college days at Alfred University. What a kind, caring, thoughtful and humble person she was! She co-hosted several reunions at her home on Lake Keuka, holding our group together for over fifty years. We will miss her wisdom and inspiration. Bonnie will forever live on in our hearts and minds. Love, Ann & Bob C
I will remember Bonnie for her guidance, encouragement, wisdom and graciousness when serving as a Trustee with me on the Pulteney Free Library Board. Her contributions to the greater Library system will be sorely missed. Also, not to forgotten were, along with her dear friend, Alise Irwin, the wonderful Christmas teas held at their Keuka Lake home with furs and white gloves to boot. She was one of the original members of the Pulteney Bone Builders and the Office of the Aging, Senior lunch program held at the Pulteney Presbyterian Church. My sincere sympathy to Bill and the rest of the family.
