SCHENEVUS - Thomas E. Roseboom, 78, passed away May 2, 2021 at Bassett Hospital after a long health battle.

Tom grew up in the Schenevus area and graduated from Andrew S. Draper Central School in 1960.  He was blessed with the talent to build.  He could build or fix just about anything placed before him.  He had a big heart and he was always willing to help anyone at anytime.

Tom owned and operated a contracting business in the area for over 40 years. He loved building.  Later in life he found a love of gardening and always offered the most envious displays of gardening masterpieces around his home.
