Obituary for Wayne C. Belcher
Wayne C. Belcher, 65, a longtime resident of Hyde Park, passed away unexpectedly on Christmas eve, December 24, 2018, at home.
Born January 12, 1953 in Rockville Centre, he was the son of the late Charles R. and Mildred Eid Belcher.
A graduate of F.D. Roosevelt High School and Dutchess Community College, Wayne worked for the New York State Department of Labor for many years until his retirement in 2018.
Wayne’s true love was youth sports. As a coach and referee, he was active with the Hyde Park Little League for almost fifty years, and the Regina Coeli CYO program. It would be safe to say that he coached generations of young people in Hyde Park.
He is survived by his sister, Karen Petrillo, and husband, Edward, of Albany; brother, Russell Belcher, and wife, Elisabeth, of Merrimack, New Hampshire; niece, Lori Petrillo of Connecticut; nephew, Adam Belcher of Boston; grandniece, Emma Petrillo of Connecticut; and many aunts, uncles, and cousins.
Calling hours will be 3 to 7 pm, Sunday, December 30th at Sweet's Funeral Home, Inc., Rte. 9, Hyde Park.
Funeral services will be at 10 am, Monday, December 31st at the Community Mausoleum Chapel of Poughkeepsie Rural Cemetery, 342 South Ave., Poughkeepsie. Rev. Randy Prentiss will officiate.
Burial will follow.
