Gary A. Bartlett

September 6, 1945 - March 10, 2022

Gary A. Bartlett, 76, passed away Thursday March 10, 2022 at home surrounded by family. Born September 6, 1945, son of the late George and Gladys Bartlett, Gary grew up on a farm in Lowman, NY. He served proudly in the United States Army and National Guard. He received a Bachelor’s Degree in Political Science from SUNY New Paltz and was a retired officer of the NYS Department of Corrections. Gary was a family man. His greatest joys came from his family, friends, and dogs. He was most at peace during long walks through the woods or at the helm of a sailboat. He also always loved a round of golf, a single-malt scotch, a good cigar, or a good book. Most recently, he enjoyed spending time at “camp,” sipping a dram by the pond and watching the kids and dogs run around. Gary will be remembered as a great patriot, and a devoted husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle, and friend. Gary is preceded in death by his parents, George and Gladys. He is survived by his wife of 43 years, Donna, their daughters Heather and Holly (Michael); his sons Geoff (Evelyn) and Chris; brother George (Angela); sister Gayle (Pete); grandchildren Iain, Erin, Michael, Rebecca, and Lily; and his great grandchildren. Calling hours will be held at W.C. Brady’s Sons Inc. Funeral Home, 97 Mansion Street, Coxsackie, NY, on Wednesday March 16, 2022, from 5:00-7:00pm, with military honors at 7:00pm.
