Harry Linton Obituary

Mr. Harry Eugene "Gene" Linton, 85, of Frederick, died peacefully on Friday, April 3, 2020, at Pleasant View Nursing Home. He was the husband of Anna Millicent Strine Linton for over 65 years who died February 25, 2013. Together they owned and operated Linton Cabinet Shop for over 35 years. Born in Yellow Springs on October 18, 1934, he was the son of the late Harry Charles Linton and Lucy Marie Zimmerman Linton. He proudly served his country in the United States Army.

Gene was loved by all who knew him. He will be forever remembered of his pride in his talent of wood, building quality custom cabinetry and furniture. At retirement he enjoyed collecting antiques and attending auctions. He will be fondly missed by his children, grandchildren, brother, sisters and all that knew him. May he rest in peace.

He is survived by four children, Elizabeth "Libby" Craver and husband, Twain of Thurmont, Mary Cutshall and husband, John of Woodsboro, John Linton and significant other Sheri Springer of Chambersburg, PA, and Barbara Fellers of Knoxville. Grandchildren Mary-Jean Garlock and husband, Marl, Chad Craver, Victoria Linton, Lindsey Linton, Sarah Linton and Christopher Cutshall, and wife Randala and a great granddaughter, Lillian Stottlemyer. He is survived by sisters, Marilyn Oland, Shirley Schultz, Jane Blickenstaff, Judy Linton and brother, Chuck Linton. He was preceded in death by an infant daughter, Ruth Katherine Linton and a son -in-law, Steve Fellers.

Funeral arrangements will be made at a later time once the threat of the COVID-19 virus subsides.

Arrangements are with Keeney and Basford Funeral Home.

I am very sad to have now learned of Harry’s passing, so long after the event.
I wish I could have attended his memorial and I grieve with the family for the loss of such a kind man.
He was enormous help to me as I started in woodworking, donating his time to my teaching and asking nothing in return. And, of course, he was a master at his craft. He will be missed. Bless his family.

John, We are so sorry to read of your father's passing. He was quite a character--always with his cigar and dog! We have two pieces of furniture he made, so he will be a lasting memory in our home.

Mary and family, I am so sorry to hear of your dad's passing. My heart also aches for you that you are not able to grieve properly during this COVID-19 crisis. But know that you have a lot of hugs coming your way virtually. It sounds like your dad had quite an eventful life with his service years, cabinet making, and raising a family. I hope you have many wonderful memories to warm your heart.

I'm so sorry for the loss of Gene. He was a kind, hard-working man. I was with my grandmother at Gene and Ann's wedding, so I have lots of memories of your family and Miss Catherine. My condolences to his family, may he rest in peace.
