HUDSON FALLS – Rowland J. “Boomer” Dumas, 87, a longtime Hudson Falls resident passed away on Friday, January 23, 2015, at the Indian River Healthcare and Rehab Center in Granville.
Arrangements are pending, under the direction of the Carleton Funeral Home, inc., 68 Main St., Hudson Falls.
I have been a lifelong friend of Kathy, and I never shared with her how grateful I was for her Dad. As her college roommate, he was the one who made sure that I was fed and cared for as well as his own daughter. This is a man who loved his children deeply and devotedly.
All his children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren are very lucky to carry his love in their hearts.
So very sorry to Julie, Shannon and Missy for your loss and all of Boomers family. All I can think of , tho, is how much he made me laugh as in one of the first times I saw him and said “I have to wash my hands”…his reply? “did ya bring your own water?” OMG complete laughter….
