Bernard Piatt
Bernard J. Piatt Angelica Bernard James Piatt “Bernie” went peacefully home to his Lord and Savior on Saturday (Nov. 22, 2014) at the Hart Comfort House in Wellsville. He was born to Donovan and Leah James Piatt on August 17, 1921, in the Town of Allen. He spent his growing up years in Angelica, where he developed a lifelong love of airplanes and flying. As kids he and his pals spent many happy hours building model airplanes and then flying them in the park. His passion for flying came full circle when in the winter of 2002-2003 he and his son Jim built an ultralight plane in Bernie’s living room in Angelica. Bernie greatly enjoyed navigating that plane at age 81, and for the next couple years. He was a 1939 graduate of Wilsonian High and on Nov. 15 1940, he enlisted in the Army Air Force. He served his country in the Pacific theater of World War II, then re-enlisted, making it financially possible for him to marry the love of his life, Marguerite “Bunny” Goodreau. For 20 years he and Bunny, with children in tow, lived in such places as Mass, Delaware, New Mexico, Alaska, and northern New York. In Jan. 1961, he retired from the Air Force and relocated to his hometown, where he served as Angelica’s Village Clerk until 1973, when he became the director of the CETA program in Belmont, retiring in 1983. Bernie had many interests and hobbies at different times in his life, including raising parakeets, model railroads, fishing, camping, croquet, square dancing, cribbage, and his model airplanes. He was delighted to have one of his models put on display at the Glenn Curtis Museum in Hammondsport, and another at a museum at Dart Field, near Chautauqua Lake. He was a former member of the Angelica United Methodist Church, where he served on the Board of Trustees, and was a Sunday school teacher. He was a self –appointed guardian of the croquet court, chasing away bicycles and little feet! Bernie’s friendly smile and wave to passers-by as he sat on his front porch will be sadly missed. To us, his children, and grandchildren, he was an amazing and dearly loved man. He was predeceased by his parents, his wife Marguerite E. Piatt on October 20, 2001, a sister Barbara Jennings, 2 brothers in law William Farnsworth, and Herb Jennings, and a great grandson Andrew “Drew” Ford.
