        Shafer, Roslyn Carol  58, died January 18th in Rochester of leukemia. Born in Newburgh in 1954, the second youngest child of Celia and Philip Shafer, Roz was an amazing individual who had an impact on every person that she met. Trained as an elementary school teacher – she received a Bachelor’s in Elementary Education from SUC Oneonta - she worked for many years in Workforce Development at IBM in East Fishkill, before breaking out on her own, purchasing a franchise from an innovative company that combined technology and early learning into programs aimed at teaching young children. Computer Explorers gave her the opportunity to finally work with children, and sharing in and inspiring their learning journey was both satisfying and greatly exhilarating for her. In 2003, after over 10-yrs with the company, she sold her franchise and her home and fulfilled yet another dream; she returned to Oneonta, New York, a place she had always loved, and bought a beautiful 1860 brick home on the banks of the Susquehanna River. Having proven herself a valuable, creative voice in the field of early learning via technology, she continued to work for the company, for years writing the curriculum that would inspire yet another generation of young computer explorers. Roz inspired her friends and family, as well; her brother, Thomas Shafer, sister, Irene Shafer, cousins Jaime, Juliet, Erik, Rhian, Shari, Howie, and all their children. There was no one she met that she did not immediately connect with, as evidenced by her numerous friends and colleagues, from varied groups, spread all across the country. Roz was passionate about many things, from animals, art, photography, and music, to politics and the environment. She loved to travel and made trips to Italy, Belize, Mexico, Hawaii, and Ireland. She loved to cook and entertain. She loved her house and her beautiful garden. She loved to create art. But most of all, she loved her friends and her family. Roz is survived by her brother Tom, of Middletown, NY, her sister, Irene, of Fishkill, NY, cousins Erik Stams and his wife, Rhian, and their two children, Gwen and Nia, Jaime Stams and his wife, Juliet, and their two children, Jaxon and Jared, Shari Bucholz and her husband, and their children, Nicole and Brett. A memorial gathering will be held at Hesse Galleries at 350 Main Street in Otego, NY on February 9th, from 1 pm into the evening. In lieu of flowers, the family is suggesting donations to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society http://www.lls.org/waystohelp/donate/donateonline/ , Hope Lodge of Rochester, NY (for giving us a comfortable, beautiful, welcoming place to stay when we needed it most)http://www.cancer.org/treatment/supportprogramsservices/hopelodge/rochester-ny/index or to the animal shelters supporting the communities in which the donators live.

      Sharp, William  was killed with his wife of 6 months Kathleen Papini, class of 1971, her mother and Ellen Scully Nov. 1981, in a tragic auto accident at the corner of 9W and Union Ave in New Windsor. Reportedly by a drunk driver... It was front page news at the time.
    Posted by Joseph A. Dubaldi Jr........ I remember the day that Bill Sharp was killed. He was a member of the Vails Gate Fire Department and also the scuba team. There were a few times when our firehouse and his firehouse would go on a dive call. I remember the night he passed away. We were coming back from a dinner with out firehouse and we stopped at the intersection. There were three people in his car that were killed, and the driver of the other car was also killed. It was a tragic accident that should have never happened. We watched as his fellow fireman took him out of the car.
