Gary Schell
Gary is now at peace in heaven with his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. As he would often say,
even under the worst circumstances, “I’m in God’s hands.” On July 16, 2023 he was reunited
with his mom, Vivian and sister, Cheryl who were tragically killed in an auto accident in 1977.
He was badly injured in the accident and spent over a year in the hospital recuperating.
Born with Cerebral Palsy on March 18, 1947, life dealt Gary many difficult circumstances, but
his strong persistence and faith in God helped him to achieve many things he was told he would
never be able to do. His CP affected him physically but he always wanted people to know that
he had a good mind, so good in fact that he was able to earn a BA degree at Binghamton
University. He was able to live on his own in Florida for over 30 years, learned to drive a car,
and made devoted friends with people wherever he went. One of his favorite scriptures was
Philippians 4:13: “I can do all things through him (Christ) who strengthens me.”
Gary had the gift of bringing out the love in people. The staff at Ideal Skilled Nursing Facility in
Endicott where he lived the last eleven and a half years, gave him much love and care and even
bestowed on him the title of “Nursing Home Activist” for his efforts to advocate for them and
the residents.
Gary leaves behind his special family, Tim and Virginia Wetherbee of Endicott, cousin Karen
Frobel of Chenango Bridge, cousin Barry Oliver of Johnson City, TN, aunt Marjorie Gorman and
cousins Louise Schabloski, David Gorman and John Gorman, all of Binghamton.
He will be missed by additional extended family and all the wonderful friends he made along his way.
There will be a memorial service for Gary at Pierce Hill Christian Fellowship, 232 Pierce Hill Rd.,
Vestal, NY 13850 on July 29 th at 11 a.m. with a light lunch to follow. In lieu of flowers, please
consider a donation in Gary’s memory to his church at this Vestal address.

Dominic Richard (Dick) Musa
Dominic Richard (Dick) Musa 90 of Boca Raton, Florida passed away on Monday, April 10, 2023 after spending Easter Sunday with his family the previous day.
Dick was predeceased by his parents Dominick and Anna Musa; his sisters Dorothy Marconi, Florence (Pat) Fiorelli, Phyllis (George) Khoury; his brother Robert; the love of his life and wife of 55 years, Patricia Gallagher and their oldest son, Richard Musa. He is survived by his sons Michael Musa, Mark Musa and Denise Redington, and Patrick (Dan) Musa and his wife Susan; 5 grandchildren, 5 great-grandchildren; his brother-in-law George Khoury; his sister-in-law Laura Musa; also several nieces and nephews and cousins.
Dick grew up on the north side of Endicott in a big and loving family. He was a talented swimmer and was approached about swimming at Syracuse University, but he worked to help support his family. He signed up to join the US Army and served during the Korean War. A self taught man, Dick had an understanding of many technical topics including material science and thermal, mechanical, and electrical engineering. He had an impactful 36-year career at IBM, making valuable contributions at the time of the invention of the computer and the design and launching of the Saturn 5 rocket. Dick was nothing short of brilliant.
An intelligent and adept man, his focus was always his family. Dick built their family home in Endicott, and together, he and Pat embarked on the adventure of running the historic Oneida Hotel on Sylvan Beach. After selling the hotel, they settled into the ‘Musa cottage’ in Sylvan Beach and that became ‘home away from home’ and a summer retreat for the family. It was, and still remains after 50-plus years, a beloved family gathering place. The cottage is a testament to the sacrifices Dick and Pat made to create a beautiful life and positive upbringing for a family that was everything to them. Dick, again, being a wise man, took a transfer to Boca Raton while still with IBM, so they were able to enjoy summers at the cottage and winters/school year in Florida! Dick considered the beach home and valued the people and relationships developed there. He lit up telling stories of his life, many of them involving the beach. He had an adventurous spirit. He loved to hunt, skate, ski, boat, and fish. He also loved to cook, and he valued time with his extended family.
Dick was an avid reader, and he loved to learn. He read, and reread, about space, the universe, physics, evolution, genetic biology, and the natural world. Coupled with his intellect, he possessed a great ability to use his hands. He had a passion and talent for woodworking, and he created tables, chairs, clocks, tools, and other whimsical creations, often with intricate designs.
He was selfless, dedicated, hard working, talented, skilled, and humble. Never outspoken, he had a deep understanding of many subjects. Dick will be remembered for his intelligence, his kindness, his humor, his loyalty, and his integrity. He was a father, grandfather, great-grandfather, son, husband, friend, colleague, neighbor, mentor. He had many accomplishments to be proud of in his life, but the one that may have meant the most was marrying Ms. Endicott Johnson. He and Pat created and enjoyed a beautiful life together and have left an incredible legacy behind them.
A service will be held on Thursday, June 29th, 11am at Calvary Cemetery, Mausoleum 1, Johnson City, NY.

Anna Joanne Suflita Sisolak Powell
Anna Joanne Suflita Sisolak Powell, of Good Shepard Villages, Endwell, died May 27, 2023, at the age of 90, only two days past her birthday.
Anna was predeceased by her beloved sons Joseph Michael Sisolak and Thomas Paul Sisolak, sister Evelyn Suflita Zemberi, nephew Jared Suflita, nieces Joanne and Marie Zemberi, and husband Howard Powell.
She is survived by her daughter Teresa Sisolak Reller, brother Michael Suflita, beloved grandsons Paul Sisolak, Benjamin Reller, and Scott Reller, and great-grandson Joseph Reller. She is also survived by several nieces and many cousins.
Mom was an original member of Our Lady of Angels Church (now Church of the Holy Family), a place that she served in many capacities throughout the years and found great peace and love. She was an excellent seamstress which resulted in her own personal project of making quilted lap robes for those in hospice care. She made at least 50 of these, but who counts when it is a labor of love.
She loved to travel, including several cross-country trips in the trusty and incredibly organized pop-up camper. Joanne also enjoyed river boat cruises, trips to Europe, and exploring the minor highways in the northeast by car.
Mom and Howard were poetry in motion when dancing and they were involved in several local dance clubs. She was a beautiful woman who simply glowed when they took the floor.
She was devoted to her grandsons, making each one feel loved and special. Her great grandson was the apple of her eye and brought great joy in her last years. She may not have loved technology, but she was adept at sharing pictures on her IPad.
Mom was proud of her extended family and roots in the First Ward of Binghamton. She had many deep relationships with friends and was always ready to lend support to those who suffered the loss of a loved one. Motherhood was her most important role in life and she raised a family with deep and abiding love. And she was an amazing cook!
Funeral services will be held on Friday June 9th at 11:00 AM at the Church of the Holy Family 3600 Phyllis St. Endwell, NY. The burial will take place at a later date. The family will receive friends at the church on Friday from 10:00 AM until time of Mass at 11 AM. Expressions of sympathy in her memory may be made to a charity of one’s own choice.
