Obituary of Franklyn Laufersweiler Franklyn “Bucky” Laufersweiler, 84, of Forestburgh, New York, passed away, Thursday, April 26th, 2018 at home with family. Franklyn was born March 9th, 1935 in Monticello, NY to Franklyn and Elizabeth (Hudson) Laufersweiler. He graduated from Monticello Central High School in 1952. Dad joined the Army and served in the Korean Conflict from 1954-1956. He married the love of his life, Ellen Laura MacMurdo, on September 28th, 1957.

Dad was most noted for his work ethic, working 28 years as a Corrections Officer for New York State corrections, while also running his own flooring business. After his family was raised and the nest was empty, he and Mom found a quaint mid-state town called Hammondsport and fell in love with the town folk and their quiet and healthy lifestyle. They opened two successful Bed and Breakfasts, which they operated for nearly 30 years.
