  General Notes:

Augustus "Gus" W. Dymes, 80, of State Route 7, died unexpectedly on Sunday, October 30, 2016 at Albany Medical Center.
Born June 15, 1936 in Ossining, he was the son of Augustus and Lillian (Beasley) Dymes.
Gus received his associate's degree in Agriculture/Business from SUNY Cobleskill. He was employed for thirty-five years with Agway, Inc. and then continued to work at his son's store, Altamont Country Values until his passing.
An avid gardener with a strong work ethic, he ran two greenhouses at his farm. From his greenhouses, he wholesaled many of his plants, but he got most satisfaction out of donating to numerous charities and fundraisers such as the Cranesville Reformed Church, the CRCS Booster Club and the Boy Scout fundraiser held during Richmondville Days.
Gus was predeceased by his wife, Virginia, who died in 2002, and two grandchildren, Alexis Dymes and Matthew Gagnon.
