LEROY – Roger Austin Medley, 82, gained his Heavenly reward Thursday, October 13, 2022, with family by his side. Loving husband of the late Mary Ann Medley, the two moved to the “country” in Le Roy after raising their family in Batavia. Nothing meant more to Roger and Mary Ann than their children, grandchildren and extended families. 

Roger was born April 9, 1940, in Newburgh, NY, to the late Jean Marie (MacMillan) and Elmer Austin Medley.  He spent his early life in Walden, NY, before his family moved to central NY.  For the last several years, Roger spent his winters in Florida.

A 1958 graduate of VVS Central High School in Verona, NY, Roger attended Syracuse University before starting work in the heavy highway construction industry.  In 1962, Roger and Mary Ann moved to Batavia, where Roger headed the western NY sales region for D-A Lubricants, Inc, serving clients throughout the western third of the state.  Following a successful career in sales, Roger worked at various jobs in the Batavia area including serving as Steward of Nest 493 of the Polish Falcons. Roger coached youth sports in Batavia - baseball, football, hockey and softball - for numerous years.  A Gold Legion Honor Member, Roger was a 50-year member of the Polish Falcons of America, Local Nest 493. 

Roger had a great love for people and a sense of humor uniquely his. Throughout his life, Roger had an uncanny ability to befriend people of all ages and from all walks of life.  Known by as many nicknames as he gave, “Dad”, “Grampie”, “Grampa” were his favorites; nonetheless, many knew him, not as Roger, but as “Maytag”, “Mr. Medley”, “Coach”, “Rog’’ or “Pops”.  His tenacious zest for life and courage in the later years of his life will continue to serve as an inspiration to countless others. 

Roger and Mary Ann loved attending their grandchildren’s’ events, traveling, going out to eat, and attending sporting events.   Roger, a gifted athlete, was a lover of all sports; and had an amazing knowledge of major league baseball, football and hockey and college football. He was a fixture at Dwyer Stadium for years, a long-time season ticket holder of the Rochester Amerks, a “diehard” lover of the Brooklyn/Los Angeles Dodgers, Chicago Blackhawks, Cleveland Browns and University of Notre Dame Fighting Irish.  Roger loved the outdoors – camping, hunting, and fishing; he had a legendary appetite for all things edible, especially hot dogs, lobster, prime rib and desserts.

Roger, who has now rejoined our Heavenly Father, his loving wife, and son, Douglas Austin Medley (1965-2015), leaves behind a loving family and countless friends. He is survived by children, Sue Ann Medley, John William Medley, Cynthia Marie (David) Evanetski; daughter in law, Jenny Privatera Medley; five grandchildren, Emily Jean Medley (John) Castilleja, Allison Marie Medley, Jacob Austin Medley, Ainsley Marie Evanetski and Cassidy Medley Evanetski, and great-grandson, River Michael Castilleja.   He is survived by his sister, Bonnie (Delos) Presowitz; brother Douglas J. Medley; sisters in law Kathryn Sawner and Joyce (David) Howard; nieces Denice Howard (Steven) Long; Brenda Howard (Robert) Hicks, Bonnie Jean Marie Presowitz, Annamarie Presowitz (Rick) Polito; and nephews Jonathan (Beverly) Medley, his Godson Christian Roger Medley, and Matthew (Leah) Howard, 15 great nephews and nieces.  He is predeceased by his parents, parent in-laws, Clifford D. and Gladys (Burns) Sawner, and sister-in-law, Phyllis K. Medley.

  Robert Arthur “Bobbie” Yablonsky, 80, of Warsaw went Home to with the Our Lord on October 15th, 2022. He was born in Batavia, NY on February 22, 1942 to William and Viola Yablonsky.

He had an older brother William (Billy) who lovingly nicknamed Bobbie “Popcorn”. Being born mentally challenged, Bobbie with the help from teachers and classmates was able to attend Attica Elementary school until the 8th grade. Despite his handicap, Bobbie held down a job at ARC-Batavia, NY for a number of years. He was so proud of his job which entailed sweeping floors, emptying waste baskets and placing cotton in jewelry boxes. As soon as he got his paycheck, he was off to visit and drink coffee at the local Ben Go’s gas station. There is something to be said about the saying “it takes a village to raise a child” because that is exactly what the village of Attica did.

Everyone that knew Bobbie and his brother Billy lovely watched over them. Bobbie waited patiently every year for the village parades and the annual Attica Rodeo where he would dress up like a cowboy along with his lifelong rodeo pass (thank you David Wheeler) would pretend he was a rodeo clown and or riding the Brahma bulls. A thank you needs to go out to Ted Harding for taking Bobbie Christmas shopping and pizza every-year, how Bobbie loved giving gifts to others. Also a special thanks goes out to Maggie Dadd for making Bobbies father's request come true, for finding a family willing to take care of Bobbie so that he wouldn't have to live out his life in a nursing home.

Bobbie's father’s wish was granted with the help of Maggie as Bobbie had 37 years staying with three families; 12 years with Lillian Blujus, 5 years with Barbra Snyder, and lastly, 17 years with Dana and Linda Blujus. He also had special Love-&-Care given to him from Tom and Donna Basso, John and Cheryl Goodridge, Matt and Brittany Klingler, Ben and Rachel Cerasani plus many others too numerous to mention.

I wish everyone could see the world through Bobbie’s eyes; this world would be a much better and beautiful place. Until we meet again Bobbie, every time I hear Let's Go Bills, I'll think of you...

There will be no prior calling hours. A private Graveside Service will be held at a later date. Bobbie will be laid to rest at Forest Hill Cemetery in Attica, NY.

Bobbie always dreamed of being a fireman. In remembrance of Bobbie, he would love memorials to be given to the Attica Fire Dept. 11 Water St. Attica, NY 14011.
