Alfred Agnew, an easygoing and outgoing man, died on Saturday, Feb. 6, 2016 at Haven Hospice in Lake City, Florida, where he had lived. He was 77.

Born on Sept. 6, 1938 in Waterbury, Connecticut, Mr. Agnew was the son of the late Alfred and Adel Agnew and was raised in Delanson on a farm with his family.

Mr. Agnew, known to his friends and family as “Al,” spent over 20 years as a machinist at General Electric in Schenectady, working on big turbines. He then began driving coach buses before driving school buses for several different districts.

He enjoyed woodworking, bingo, camping, yard work, and traveling.

“He was outgoing, never meeting a stranger,” his family wrote in a tribute. “Crazy Al will be missed; may he rest in peace!”
