Arthur Lyman, age 90, passed away peacefully at Rome Health Residential Care Facility.   Arthur Lyman, a long-time resident of Rome, was born in Adams, NY on December 20, 1932, to Kenneth and Winifred Lyman.  He graduated from Oriskany Central School in 1951.

Arthur met Ruth Kipfer at a dance in the local Grange Hall.  They both loved to dance and religiously followed the various polka bands . A year later they were married in Trinity United Church of Christ on June 20, 1953. Since marrying into the church family, Arthur became an active church member serving on council, acting as a Church ambassador, and singing in the choir.

Arthur had an active social life as well.  Memberships included:  Trenton Fish and Game Club, Masonic Lodge, Camden Seniors, Steuben Lodge and the Westernville choir.  He loved to hunt, fish, travel, snowmobile and spend time at their family camp at Henderson Harbor. 

Arthur served in the National Guard.  He worked at Rome Cable for 34 years then an additional 10 years at Rome Agway.  In addition to his regular jobs he spent many early morning hours plowing snow for his brother in law, Albert Kipfer. 

Arthur is survived by his children, David Lyman and Susan Gatley; his daughter-in-law Cynthia Lyman and son-in-law Paul Gatley; his grandchildren, Julie and Pete Gelinas, Dominick and Corrine Favata, Carmen Favata, Heather and Scott Hewlett, Sarah and Carl Barcomb, and Caitlyn and Brandon Montross.  Art leaves 10 great grandchildren to carry on his legacy.
