| | | | Allan “Giz” Myers, Jr., 85, passed away Friday, Jan. 6, 2012 at WCA Hospital surrounded by his loving family.
Mr. Myers was born June 15, 1926 in Jamestown, N.Y. to the late Allan and Ethel Watson Myers. He lived on Camp Street in Jamestown for most of his life.
A very patriotic man, he left high school in his junior year to enlist in the U.S. Navy on his seventeenth birthday. He served during World War II on an LST, and took part in Operation Tiger and D Day.
He retired from Chautauqua Hardware, the same building he worked in as a child when it was National Worsted Mills. In earlier years he was employed at Art Metal Manufacturing Corp.
He was a life member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, The American Legion, and other veteran social clubs in the Jamestown area.
Giz was a true handyman. He was always willing to lend a helping hand to family and friends from fixing a leaky faucet to putting an addition on a house. He enjoyed fishing, hunting, and spending time with his family. He was an avid fan of watching The Price is Right, Wheel of Fortune, and the Lawrence Welk programs on television.
Mr. Myers is survived by his wife of 60 years, Lorna (Lewis) Myers, whom he married Sept. 29, 1951 in Ashville United Methodist Church; four children: Becky (Howard) Honey of Randolph, Pam Myers and Donald Myers of Jamestown, and Terry (Charity) Myers of Falconer; nine grandchildren: Barry Napier of Everett, Wash., Macey Myers, Keyanna Rosa, and Kadan Myers, all of Falconer, Charleen Myers and Sadie Myers, both of Buffalo, and Bart Napier, Donald Myers, Jr., and Alex Myers, all of Jamestown; five great grandchildren; and several nephews, including Wayne Myers of Syracuse, N.Y.
In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his brother, Wilson Myers.
The funeral will be at 2:00 P.M. Tuesday in Powers, Present & Sixbey Funeral Home. Mr. Randy Honey will officiate. Burial will be in Lake View Cemetery.
The family will receive friends for two hours prior to the funeral service Tuesday in the funeral home. To send a message to the family, visit www.presentsixbeyfuneral.com.
In lieu of flowers, the family suggests that memorials be made to a charity of choice.
