Farnsworth, Walter Robert Class of ‘61

Walter “Walt” Robert Farnsworth, age 74, passed

away on September 4, 2017 surrounded by his imme-

diate family in Conover, NC.

Born in Medina County Ohio, he was the son of the

late Charles Walter Farnsworth and Betty J Farns-

worth. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in

death by his sister Pat Cole.

Those left to cherish his memory are his wife of 50

years, Bonnie Farnsworth; son, Chuck Farnsworth and

worth of Brunswick GA; brother Ron Farnsworth and

ten and husband, Austin of Maiden, Michael Farns-

worth of Conover, Christopher Ingram of Brunswick

GA, Baron Pollard of Brunswick GA

Walt and Bonnie had recently celebrated their 50th

wedding anniversary on July 22nd this year. Walt was

an Air Force Veteran, skilled computer technician, a

flirt, model railroad fan, woodworking enthusiast, his-

tory buff who showed his family all the historical

markers and battlefields on the lower East Coast

whether they wanted to see them or not. He was not

an emotional man in public and would rather be behind

the camera than having his picture taken. He enjoyed

talking politics, collecting coins, and in general trying

to see how many tools he could purchase before Bon-

nie said something to him. Walt was compassionate

and caring in his own way. His actions showed that he

believed in the good of a person. A devoted John

Wayne movie and Paladin show fan, he could never get

the rest of the family to match his love for those and

had better success with Star Wars and Star Trek.

Dad was a lover of chocolate ice cream.

A celebration of life ceremony was held at the Drum-

Conover Funeral Home, 509 1st Ave S Conover NC

28613, Tuesday, Sept. 12, 2017.

Henderson Whittaker, Joyce (sent in by Glenn

Hyde)

Joyce Henderson '60 (an only child of Floyd and

Ina) grew up with my sister Lois ('61) and me from

the early 50's. She was a dear friend and wonderful

neighbor. Her father was like a dad to me after our

dad's death in '57. Lois and I have very fond memo-

ries of her and her family. We lost contact with her

after leaving home in the 60's and started looking for

her about 6-7 years ago.

From what we can gather, Joyce developed Pancreatic

Cancer several years ago and it finally took her life in

December 2013. Joyce was blessed with having four

wonderful children and all lived near her in Northern

Mississippi, near Memphis. Joyce had many friends

growing up, Helen Green, Donna Dorman and Carla

Good plus, all her neighbors and school friends. We so

miss not having the opportunity to be with her in her

final years. Her Face Book page is still active some-

what under Joyce Whittaker.

needs were being met. She also lovingly cared for many animals over the years. Needy dogs and cats without a place to

belong would somehow know to come to Judy’s house.

Roscioli, Robert A Class of 1960

(7/26/42-7/27/20)

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of

the legendary Robert "Bob" Roscioli. Mr. Roscioli has been

an icon of the marine industry and is globally respected for

personal attention to details and outstanding service to

the yachting industry at Roscioli Yachting Center.

Bob built his business and made his mark as a pioneer in

the South Florida marine industry when he started a busi-

ness from nothing, using his master paint brushing skills

and gained a reputation as a perfectionist. He then

launched what is now a world-renowned, state-of-the-art,

full service shipyard. In the late 1980's, he started Ro-

scioli Donzi Yachts, building custom sport fishing yachts

which was a passion of his.

Bob's mantra "Today's the Day" is the way he started

every day at the yard. He could be seen walking the ship-

yard every morning, preparing for the day ahead. A true

friend to first responders and veterans, Bob was an advo-

cate of providing jobs and teaching those who have served

or needed a chance. A true legacy to the marine industry.

Mr. Roscioli leaves behind Sharon, his loving wife of 51

years, his son Robert (Traci), his daughter, Heather

(Brian),and three granddaughters, Grace, Hannah and Ra-

chel. Bob will be deeply missed by his employees, innumer-

able colleagues in the yachting industry, many of whom he men-

tored, and the yacht owners who have depended on him for his

loyal service.

Due to the Coronavirus pandemic and out of respect to the

wellbeing of Robert's family and visitors, services will be held

at the convenience of the family. It can be a great comfort to

a grieving person or family to hear that others thought highly

of their loved one too. If you knew and admired Bob, be sure

to let the family know by writing a few words in the "Memory"

section of his obituary on the Kraeer - Fairchild Funeral Home

website.

Ms. Setliff was born in Fort Lauderdale, Florida in November

came a supervisor. After Ruth Anna passed, she moved to

Setliff of Lakeland Florida. She is also survived by 18 nieces

and nephews, 24 great nieces and nephews and 23 great great

nieces and nephews, who live all over the country and overseas.

Although she had no children of her own, she often said she

had plenty of nieces and nephews to spoil and spoil, she did.

Always wanting to help others, she made an anatomical dona-

tion to the LSU Medical Program and requested no memorial

service because she wanted her friends and family to cele-

brate her life instead.

Valasky Philhower, Mary Faculty

(1920 - 2016)

It is with a sad heart that we must report that our

friend (and former Chemistry Teacher) died on July

6, 2016. She was strong until the last year, when she

developed weakness, thus leading to staying in bed

almost all day, not eating properly, etcetera.

We were fortunate enough to get a last visit in when

we were down there in May. She was living at her

nephew's home.

No service or burial was done, per Mary's request.

Please remember her in your prayers and know that

she is finally at a place she desired. Alert until the

end, her body just gave out, due to her age. We feel

fortunate we had her with us as long as we did. Each

trip to Florida always included a side excursion over

to Bradenton for a visit.

I do not have many SHS "Reunion" Group names, so if

you know of someone who knew Mary, please pass this

message forward.

Until we meet again~ Pat Craig (Class of 1959)

ership positions in the church.

hunting. He was proficient in many things in life but

enjoy being surrounded by nature.

mann; his mother Waive Roache Widmann; his wife of 36

years and mother of his children, Linda Jean Widmann,

mann and Kaleigh Tinsley; and his sister Diane (Mac)

McDaniel.

We will remember his love of family and conviction of

faith as we have relied upon him often to provide com-

fort and counsel. We will also remember his very large

sense of humor that has made us all laugh, often uncon-

trollably. Remembering and sharing our memories of Don

will always bring a smile to our face and laugher in our

hearts. We love and miss you, DCW.
