Lynn G. Davidson, 85, of Bainbridge, New York, passed away peacefully in the early morning of May 4, 2026, with his wife, Donna and caregiver, Deborah at his side. Lynn deeply appreciated their companionship and care. He proudly served his country in the United States Air Force for four years.

Lynn was a happy-go-lucky, kind-hearted man who loved the outdoors and nature, and could often be found fishing, camping and rock climbing, along with many other outdoor activities. He was also well known for his engravings on jewelry, plaques, knives and other items. He will be remembered for the time he spent doing the things he enjoyed, but most of all his big smile that could light up the room. He will be missed by all of us.

The family would also like to extend a heartfelt thank you to all of Lynn’s caregivers, Carina, Cadie, Violet and Ronda, for their kindness, support and dedicated care.

He is survived by his wife of 45 years, Donna (Oakley) Davidson.

A small graveside service was held on May 7, 2026, at the New Milford Cemetery in New Milford Township, PA.

Neil Norman Price, of Southern Pines, North Carolina, passed away peacefully at FirstHealth Hospice House in Pinehurst, North Carolina, on April 30, 2026. He was 90 years old.

Neil was preceded in death by his wife, Margaret “Peggy” Ann Walker Price, who passed away on April 11, 1989. He is survived by his daughter, Marcia Price, of Southern Pines, North Carolina; daughter and son-in-law, Sharon and Joseph Hakas, MD, of Southern Pines, NC; granddaughter, Emma Hakas; granddaughter and grandson-in-law, Maggie Hakas Mebane and Jordan Mebane, of Fort Mills, SC. He is also survived by his brother and sister-in-law, Howard “Tim” and Delores Price, of Wendell, NC.

Neil graduated from New Milford High School and went on to serve his country in the United States Army, where he was assigned to the motor pool at Fort Rucker. After two years of active duty, he continued his service for eight years in the Army Reserve. He married Margaret in 1959 and later attended the Johnson School for drafting. During this time, he also served as a substitute postal mail carrier in Susquehanna County.

Neil spent the bulk of his working career with New York State Electric & Gas Corporation in Binghamton, New York, where he worked as a first-class mechanic servicing utility trucks and the company’s fleet of corporate vehicles. Neil’s mechanic skills were honed from an early age, as he grew up helping his father in the family’s auto repair garage. Known for his skill and resourcefulness, upon retirement Neil built a reputation as a go-to handyman among his friends and neighbors. The stories that came with that reputation and his history with friends were often shared with others around the wood stove in his basement.

An avid fisherman, hunter, gardener and woodsman, Neil found great joy in the outdoors. From the time he was a young boy, he fished every stretch of the Tunkhannock Creek from Lenox to Jackson. His marksmanship was well known, and deer, turkey, grouse, woodchucks and squirrels were no match for him. Gardens under Neil’s care were a family affair, producing abundant bushels of tomatoes, potatoes, corn and other vegetables. He also felled, skidded and chopped many a hardwood tree on the family farm.

Neil enjoyed nearly 25 years of retirement in Jackson, PA, before moving to North Carolina to be near his daughters, so he could be cared for in his later years.

Neil will be laid to rest in South Gibson Cemetery beside his wife, Margaret. A celebration of life and remembrance will be held this summer in Jackson, PA. Family and friends will be notified once that has been organized.
