Daniel B. Keyes

Walworth: Dan passed away on June 25, 2016 at age 79.  He was predeceased by his parents, Elsie and Murray Brion; son, Kenneth Keyes.  Dan is survived by his wife of 60 years, Erma Keyes; children, Thomas (Patricia) Keyes and Nancy (Anthony) Sclamo; daughter-in-law, Denise (Kevin) Switzer; grandchildren, Christopher and Sean Keyes, Rose and Denise Sclamo, Anna (Matteson) Keyes-DeLancey and Jonathon Switzer; foster brother, Kenneth (Martha) Brewster of Virginia.

He was born on May 4th, 1937 in Ithaca, NY and moved with his family to a farm on Atlantic Ave. in Walworth. Dan (Walworth's un-official mayor) will be missed by many of his friends, where he was highway superintendent, NYS Town Highway Association president, a town board councilman and active in the Lincoln FD. Dan's greatest passion was farming, where he grew commercial crops and made sure that the farm looked more like a park than a farm
