William T. Sheffield, Sr. 

11/22/2015

 
   During the early morning hours of Sunday, November 22nd, 2015,  William Taylor Sheffield, Sr.,  passed away quietly at his residence, surrounded by his family.  He was 86 years of age.  
    Born August 18th, 1929 in Ether, North Carolina, he was the son of Elijah and Eulla Sheffield.  He served our country with the U. S. Navy  during the Korean War and was a POW survivor.  After twenty years in the Navy Mr. Sheffield retired as a Chief Petty Officer.  
    The mechanical engineer training that he received in the service served him well in his civilian employment with Dow Chemical Co.  He was married to the former Leona Lessard, and together they raised six children  at their Canterbury, CT home.   For many years he served faithfully with the VFW, as well as other leadership positions in Connecticut.  He was a well known member of his community who loved to be outside working in the garden and watching the birds. Later, he retired to Grover.  
     Mr. Sheffield is survived by his wife of 61 years, Leona,  sons William Jr. (& Nancy) Sheffield, Michael (&Sharon)Sheffield, Jeffrey (& Kaye) Sheffield, Gregory Sheffield, Andrew (& Caron) Sheffield, and daughter Kathy (& Larry)  Loreman,  brother Gary (& Chris), sister-in-law Shelia, brother-in-law Lynn (& Tina) Lessard,   nine grandchildren, five great-grandchildren; nieces and nephews.   
    He was   preceded in death by his brother Larry and sister Polly.
 In accordance with Mr. Sheffield’s wishes there are no calling hours or public services. The family suggests that memorial contributions be directed to the Sherwood Retirement and Personal Care Home, 3995 Rt. 14, Canton, Pa., 17724, or Guthrie Hospice, 421 Tomahawk Road, Towanda, Pa., 18848.    Professional serviced have been entrusted to Morse & Kleese Funeral Home, Canton.
