Donald Booth Obituary
CORTLAND - Donald L. Booth, 75, of 19 Otter Creek Place, Cortland, NY passed away at home with his loving family at his side on September 24, 2013.
Donn was a lifelong resident of Cortland, NY born on February 5, 1938. Donn was a graduate of Morrisville State College and later served in the Air National Guard during the Berlin crisis, in Phalsbourg, France. He was the proprietor of Booth's Electric in Cortland until his illness.
Donn was a Private Pilot and the Field Director for the Seaplane Pilot's Association. He was a member of the Grace Christian Fellowship Church. He served as a Commissioner for the DPW.
He is survived by his wife of 52 years, Judy (Moore) Booth, sons Bryan of Cortland; Brett (Jessica) of Staatsburg, NY; Brad of Bristol, VA., his grandchildren, Alex, Amelia, Jack and Olivia, and his brother Robert (Miriam) Booth.
He was predeceased by his parents, H. Deverne Booth and Charlotte A. Booth.
Donn will be remembered by many as an inspiration to others, as he fought the fight for many years while suffering from COPD. He will be missed by his family and friends who were blessed to know him and love him. We are comforted to know he is resting in the arms of Jesus.
The family will receive friends and relatives Friday at the Grace Christian Fellowship Church, 1250 Fisher Ave., Cortland, NY 13045, from 3:00-4:45, followed by a Memorial Service to begin at 5:00 pm. Memorial contributions can be made to the Caring Community Hospice of Cortland, 11 Kennedy Parkway, or the Grace Christian Fellowship Church.
