Roy E. Craver, 89, of Montour Falls, passed away unexpectedly at home on March 18, 2014. He was born in Montour Falls on May 4, 1924, the son of the late Donald and Carolyn Craver. Roy graduated from Cook Academy in Montour Falls in 1942. In 1945, with his wife Shirley, he purchased what would become the family farm, raising in addition to his family, white-faced Herford's and numerous other animals. Roy retired from S.C. Hansen, Inc., after a distinguished 36 year career in farm equipment sales. Second only to Roy's love of his family was that of his love for his community. He proudly served as Town of Montour Supervisor and board member for over 20 years, and was a staunch advocate for the residents of Schuyler County. Roy was a member of the Odessa United Methodist Church and the Odessa Lions Club. In his retirement, Roy and Shirley enjoyed extensive traveling to destinations all over the world. He was predeceased by his son, Steven A. Craver in 2006, and by a sister, Carol French in 1985. He is survived by his beloved wife of 69 years, Shirley H.; daughter, Claudia C.
