O\u2019Driscoll \u2013 89 \u2013 a resident of Manor Hill Assisted Living in Wellsville, formerly of 4 Maplewood Ave., North Hornell, died Sunday, October 2, 2016 at Jones Memorial Hospital after a brief illness.<\/p>\n
Born in Beacon, NY on May 15, 1927, he was the son of the late John O\u2019Driscoll and Wilma O\u2019Driscoll Henderson. John graduated from St. Joachim\u2019s Catholic School, Beacon High School, and American University in Washington, DC.<\/p>\n
John worked at the National Biscuit Company in Beacon until he joined the US Navy as a corpsman during World War II and again during the Korean War. After his stint with the Navy, John went to work for the Travelers Insurance Company in New York City. In 1989, he retired after 38 years with Travelers to beautiful North Hornell, which he had seen from the troop train while in the Navy. It was then that he knew he would be back to the area someday \u2013 and he did! John was a member of Our Lady of the Valley Parish and a communicant of St. Ann\u2019s Church.<\/p>\n
John is survived by his cousins, Patricia Carlson of Lafayette, MN; Margaret and Harrison Slocum of Wallkill, NY; many second cousins.<\/p>\n
