GARY E. POWELL
NORWICH – Gary E. Powell, 74, of Norwich, NY passed away at Faxton-St. Luke’s Hospital of Utica on January 13, 2015.
Gary was the son of the late Earl and Mary Walker Powell. Those that knew him knew that although quiet Gary lived an active life of working, teaching his family, and serving his community. He spent many of his working years working at Victory Markets. When not working Gary could be found spending time doing many thing, whether it was going out to watch the local sporting events (especially if he had one of his kids playing), watching his beloved Penn State Football Team, going out fishing or simply just heading out to clean his cars. As said the community was an important part of Gary’s life, which he so proudly showed by dedicating many years of service to the community as a volunteer fireman for the Maydole Hose Company.
Gary is survived by his wife Mary Powell, his children; Michael (Rebecca) Powell, Terri (Chris) Halom, and Brenda (James) Mucha, and his step-children Stacey Shepard and Timothy Danaher all of Norwich. Also surviving are his grand-children; Sarah Powell, Amanda Powell, Carrie Halon, Heather Halom, Tucker Mucha, and Andie Mucha, and one great-grand child Jordan Hammond all of Norwich, as well as his step-grandchildren Christopher Shepard of Coventry, Justin Shepard of Norwich, and Espyn Danaher of Oneonta. Gary’s brother Robert (Lynn) Powell of Frederick Maryland and his sister-in-law Gloria Powell of Mill Hall PA also survive.
Gary is predeceased by his first wife Bonnie Powell, his son Gary Jr. and his brothers Charles and Earl.
Services for Gary will be private and at the convenience of the family.
Arrangements are under the direction of the R.J. Fahy Funeral Home, 116 N. Broad St. Norwich, NY.
