Edward Mandigo Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Apr. 2, 2015.

Edward C. Mandigo, 95, long time resident of Port Crane, NY, passed away peacefully on Saturday, March 28, 2015 at St. Peter's Hospital in Albany, NY. He was the beloved husband of Dorothy "Jane" Mandigo and devoted father of Richard (Paula) Mandigo of Albany, NY and grandfather of Stephen Mandigo of Saratoga Springs, NY. He was predeceased by his loving daughter Mary Morrison of Sidney, NY, his parents and five siblings. Edward was a WWII veteran and a teamster, ending his 37 year career with Consolidated Freightways in 1982. He devoted his 69 years of marriage to unselfishly taking care of his wife and family, and was well loved by his friends and community. He never lost his sense of humor and was noted for his quick wit and friendliness. Funeral services will be held at 1:00 p.m. on Thursday, April 2 at Wm. R. Chase & Son Funeral Home, 737 Chenango St. Port Dickinson, with Rev. Daniel Baker officiating. Burial will follow at Chenango Valley Cemetery.

I grew up in the neighborhood behind Mr. Mandigo's house.
I would stop and talk with Mr. Mandigo when I had time.
We talked about family, traveling, and everything in life. He taught me a lot, things I still carry with me today.
Mr. Mandigo inspired me to travel today, not tomorrow, you may never have a tomorrow.
in 2012 my wife and I, and our 2 kids sold our home, and decided to travel the US. I missed our conversations, and the ability to share all the places we came across.
I have been gone for 3 years, I had plans to fly in at the end of the month. I was looking forward to sitting on the porch and visiting.
I am so sorry didn't get the chance to visit one more time.
Thank You sir for all you had shared with me. You will be greatly missed.

Dick, I am sorry to hear the news about your father. From what I can see you and he are a lot alike, always caring and helping others. You were very lucky to have spent the last couple of years as you did together and I am sure your Dad loved every minute. You have something very special to carry on.

Saddens me to hear the news. I believe we are somehow related. Dorris and James Ramsey are my Parents. As I remember, they lived down the road from Doc Allerton's stone barn. Good memories. "When a man's work on Earth is done, he is called Home."
