October 24, 1917--October 28, 2012 |
| LeRoy Van Nostrand, Jr. was known by mst people as Roy throughout the village and Suffolk county as a community leader and attorney.
Roy was a careful steward of resources put into his trust. He will long be remembered at First UMC for his leadership as a Trustee. Often he served as chair, with his sond judgment and fair guidance and he managed the church's endowment. Roy was proud of its growth and at times felt responsible when it declined. He was Sunday School Superintendent for the 4th-6th grades for years. For the annual Laity Sunday he directed "Roy's Boys," a men's chorus. He and his wife Margaret "Peggy" (nee Markham) celebrated 70 years of marriage on May 1, 2012. Roy was the father of Judith Sturgis (Robert), Gail MacFarland (Robert) and David (Jeanne). He was cherished as the grandfather of eight and equally proud of his six great grandchildren. He was the brother of Mary Elizabeth Huszagh and the late Albert Van Nostrand. Roy was able to get home from the hospital on his birthday, October 24. During the festivities as the family sang "Happy Birthday," Roy chimed in with "Happy birthday to me!" The family has requested in lieu of flowers that donations be given to the First United Methodist Church Endowment Fund, 25 Broadway, Amityville, NY 11701 and the Amityville Historical Society Endowment Fund, 170 Broadway, Amityville, NY 11701. |
