John Grosfent Obituary
He was born on Oct. 12, 1935, in Worcester, the son of Harold and Ida Mae (Hubbard) Grosfent.
He married Bernice Martin on July 18, 1959.
John so loved the outdoors; he equally loved dairy farming, logging and the management of his forests. His day was always brighter when surrounded by his "kids" and family. He was an avid hunter who enjoyed deer season best.
His wife Bernice; his children, Deborah Grosfent, Denise Catoe, Dennis and Tracey (Hoagland) Grosfent; 12 grandchildren; three great-grandchildren; his brother Walter Grosfent and nephew, Harold and Becky Grosfent, survive John.
His brothers Richard and Elland Grosfent predeceased John.
Funeral services will be held at 11 a.m. Saturday, Nov. 18, at the Houk-Johnston-Terry Funeral Home, Edmeston with Pastor Jay Henderson officiating.
Calling hours will be one hour before the service, from 10 to 11 a.m.
Interment will follow at the Leonardsville Cemetery, Leonardsville.
Arrangements by Houk-Johnston-Terry Funeral Home, Edmeston.
Condolences may be sent to the family via the funeral home website at hjtfuneralhome.com.

I am blessed to have had you as a Grandfather. The favorite memory I have is when grandpa used to let his hair grow and I would try to braid it. You will be missed greatly. I love you Grandpa.

We have been blessed to know John and will truly miss him. Meg and Zach remember him best for his sharing of Hershey kisses and throwing the wrappers at them.
