David W. Minnoe, 82, passed away on Oct. 27, 2024.

He was born, raised and lived in Baldwinsville all his life.

David worked at the New York State Thruway Authority from 1974 to 2002 (28 years.) While working for the Thruway Authority, he acted as SEFA campaign co-coordinator for many years.

He played and loved the game of lacrosse. He also loved spending time and watching his grandsons play hockey.

His real passion was sharing with his grandchildren his knowledge and telling stories about the history and changes of growing up in Baldwinsville. The children always referred to the stories as grandpa’s history lesson about Baldwinsville. His favorite number was 13, the number of letters in the word Baldwinsville.

David is survived by his wife, Patricia (Littau) of 60 years, two children, Niles (Lisa Metzler) and John, six grandchildren, Justin, Nick, David, Madison, Courtney and Alexis, one great-grandchild, Ophelia, and several nieces and nephews.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Lakeside Fire Department or Greater Baldwinsville Ambulance Corps.

Services were held Nov. 2 at Falardeau Funeral Home, Guestbook available at falardeaufh.com.
