• Notes

  Donald D. Scarff March 1, 2006 SHELBURNE ? Donald D. Scarff, age 86, of 200 Wake Robin Drive, died Monday, Jan. 23, 2006, at his home in the Wake Robin Retirement Community after a period of declining health. Donald was born in Pittsburgh, Pa., on May 8, 1919. He attended New Trier High School in Chicago, Ill. After graduating from the Massachu-setts Institute of Technology in 1942 with an engineering degree, he went to work for the General Electric Company. In that same year, Donald married Marie Louise "Taffy" Stafford of Philadelphia, Pa. Throughout his career of some 40 years with GE, Donald held a series of management positions with ever-increasing responsibility which eventually led him to be head of the GE lamp division out of Nela Park, Cleveland, Ohio (1960-1967) and then on to the New York City office where he was a group vice president (1967-1972). His last position with GE was as regional vice president out of the Philadelphia office where he added extensive civic service to his business accomplishments. Donald's career took his family on a nationwide odyssey as they moved 10 times from east coast to west coast with stops in between. Throughout his travels, his love of golf, boating, and music remained a constant theme. After retirement in 1981, Donald and Taffy moved to Manchester, where they enjoyed golf, hiking, skiing and country living in general. He and Taffy lived out their retirement dream on a 55-foot fishing trawler on the Chesapeake where they lived spring and fall of every year. Donald is survived by his wife of 63 years and their two children, Douglas S. Scarff of Shrewsbury, Mass., and Anne W. Scarff of Northfield, Mass.; sister-in-law, Wilma Scarff of Des Plaines, Ill.; and niece, Dee Dee Langford of Lodi, Wis. Donald was predeceased by his brother, Jack L. Scarff, on Oct. 28, 1996. A "Circle of Remembrance" was held at the Wake Robin Community in Shelburne on Friday, Feb. 17 at 2 p.m. with Martha Holden, family friend, presiding. Memorial contributions can be made to Wake Robin ? Linden Activities Fund.
