• Notes

  Prentis McGary Grimes of Waterford, lost his determined battle against cancer on Saturday, Feb. 13, 2016. Prent was born at home, on Nov. 7, 1939, to Russell and Cornelia (Avery) Grimes. He grew up in Waterford attending local schools. He was a familiar sight around the Oswegatchie area, whether tending yards, enjoying pizza or visiting friends. Prent was proud of his firehouse membership and especially his participation with the fire police. Prent loved nothing better than sitting on his deck watching out over the river with Penny, his beloved dachshund, by his side or sometimes on his lap. Penny missed very few trips in Prent's truck. The river and his faithful sidekick were a constant source of enjoyment for him over the years. He leaves behind his nieces, Gwen Ann Joseph, her husband, Richard, Susan Archer, Michelle Edwards and Payton Edwards; in addition to many cousins. Prent was predeceased by his sisters, Gwendolyn Chapman, Beverly Kelly and most recently Marilyn (Muggs) Bufkin in January of this year. The family wishes to thank Dr. David Thompson and dedicated staff, and his home caregivers, especially Roberta. Also heartfelt thanks to the Center for Hospice Care staff who worked tirelessly to keep him comfortable. If there are angels among us, our family has been blessed in knowing Sharon Schaffer of Hospice. She was so special to our uncle. Thank you to Mark Davies, Chet McNeil and Prent's neighbors for their friendship and helpful ways over the years. A graveside service in Jordan Cemetery will be held at a date and time to be announced in the spring.
