Born March 29, 1946 in Granville, New York he was the son of Walter & Emma (Crouch) Ayers. He grew up in Rupert, VT and attended school at Washington Academy in Salem, NY. He married his wife Norma in 1963.

Charles was an entrepreneur. He purchased Hooper Insulation in 1975 which he owned and operated for 35 years. He had several other businesses: delivering sawdust to local farmers; managing Granville Lumber, farming on Taylor Hill: converting his land on Aiken Lane to a driving range which eventually became Mettowee Par 3 Golf Course. With all of this he created employment for many and created lasting relationships.

Charles was fair, hardworking, and never quit. His goals were always to provide the best for his family and took great pride in his home. His children remember the yearly vacations in Maine, a place he and Norma fell in love with.

In retirement Charles would be seen driving around in his white Dodge with “Hooper Insulation” on the side, having coffee at Scotties, getting his lunch at Chapmans and at the golf course keeping an eye on things. He enjoyed life.

He is predeceased by his parents Walter & Emma Ayers, his wife Norma of 52 years, brothers Walter & Thomas, and sister Dorothy.

Richard Anthony Freed graduated from LaSalle Academy in Providence in 1942 and, with war breaking out all over the world, enlisted in the United States Merchant Marine. This led to him serving in both the Pacific and European theaters and surviving both the invasion of Normandy on June 6, 1944 and the sinking of his ship. He returned from the war, graduated from Bryant College in 1948 and married his childhood sweetheart, Alice Livesey, whom he had known since grade school, that same year on March 29, 1948. Richard and Alice Freed moved to Woodstock, Vermont, in 1956 and then to Granville, New York, in 1959, when he and Alice purchased Granville Gasoline and Oil Company from the Munson family and grew it, together with sons Walter and Richard, into Johnsons Fuel Service and then Apollo Industries over the next 40 years while they also guided the growth of their family. Richard served several community organizations, including as a founding member of the Granville Lion’s Club (and a past President), a member of St. Mary’s Church and the Knights of Columbus, and a member of the Board of Directors of the former Emma Laing Stevens Hospital, to name but a few. In retirement, he continued his commitment to service by volunteering for two years, in Bulgaria, in the Peace Corps.

Richard Anthony Freed was fond of history and wrote a novel entitled The Missing Polar Bears, about the 1918 invasion of Russia by American forces at the end of World War I, and spent years searching for the remains of his uncle who was killed in battle in 1918. He was known to all by his sense of humor and kindness. When asked, at the age of 84, if he had plans for the day, he said “I plan to go outside and listen to the birds. If I can hear them, I know my hearing aid is working.” He kept a journal of his life, and on the front cover he wrote this poem to provide a final blessing to us all.

The light of night rests easily on the burdened traveler.

Would you say of me that I felt not what hurt you most?

And when the last vintage of man’s day is gone
