L aTOMME—Andrew John LaTomme, Jr., 89, of Florence, past away July 18, 2019. Andy was born Jan. 9, 1920, in Patterson, N.J. He delivered milk throughout Bergen Coun- ty, N.J., in the days of back porch boxes, glass bottles and motor truck routes. During WWII, he served in the U.S. Army Air Corps as a staff sergeant and C-47 crew chief who was award- ed the Good Conduct Medal. After the war he worked as a machinist for Uniroyal, Inc’s research and develop- ment section in New Jersey and in Connecticut. Andy served as a volun- teer fireman and officer in the Waldwick, N.J., Volun- teer Fire Department from 1951 to 1972. He was an ac- tive member of the Wald- wick Methodist Church and later the Presbyteri- an Church of the Siuslaw, where he was recognized as an Honorary Life Member of the Presbyterian Women for his assistance to them. A life-long supporter of youth, Andy served as a lit- tle league coach and was an enthusiastic fan of Wald- wick Jr-Sr High School football and wrestling. He gave over 30 years of ser- vice to the Boy Scouts of America as an Assistant Scoutmaster, Roundtable Commissioner and district and council trainer. He also served on the staff of several Wood Badge training courses. For his dedication to Scouting, he was awarded the Broth- erhood Honor of the Order of the Arrow and the Silver Beaver Award for distin- guished service to youth. In 1990, Andy was in- ducted into the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, Lodge #1858, Flor- ence, Ore. He was known for his cheerful and faithful service in a variety of lodge programs and to the Ladies of Elks. His lodge brothers will fondly remember him for his prowess at the pool table and for making the motion that “all the bills be paid” during their weekly meetings. In 2000, Lodge #1858 named him their Elk of the Year. Andy was also well- known as a woodcarver, agate polisher, counted cross-stitch artist, and a pi- nochle and cribbage player extraordinaire. An article detailing his making and giving away over 3,400 wooden Celtic cross necklaces appeared in the July-August 2019 edi- tion of Presbyterians Today magazine. He was the husband of Alice Irene Giese for 62 years; father of Andrew John LaTomme, III (Susan Gehring); grandfather of Matthew John LaTomme (Suzanne Day), Andrew Ryan LaTomme, David Jeffrey LaTomme (Sherie Call) and Amy Christine LaTomme; great-grand- father of Hannah, Colin, Zachary, Jaden, Andrew John IV, Korbin, Tobias, Skyler and Allicyn; and brother of Elizabeth Leddy.
