Barbara A. (Groet) Lehmann, 59, of South Plymouth Avenue in Matty-dale, made her way peacefully to heaven in the sunshine on Monday, at home, with her family by her side following a courageous battle with cancer.

Born on January 4th, 1950 in Roch-ester, NY, Barbara is the 2nd of her four siblings. She is predeceased by her loving parents Alice and Charles Groet and sorely missed that loving relationship with her parents. She celebrates now as she meets them again.

She met Ed, the love of her life, dur-ing her high school years and began their married life at Saint Margaret's Church on August 22, 1970. It was at that point she became the true heart and hero of her family.

She graduated from North Syracuse High School in 1968 and continued to pursue her professional future in Dietary Science at SUNY Cobleskill. She completed her education through SUNY Oswego earning a Bachelor of Science degree in Voca-tional Technical Education. Barbara worked diligently and was very suc-cessful as the "Upper Crust" Institu-tional Baking Teacher at OCM BO-CES and functioned as a Career Exploration professional for the stu-dents at the school. She retired from Onondaga, Cortland & Madison County BOCES in 2009 after 32 years of dedicated service to her co-workers and to the students she loved and respected. Her profes-sional accomplishments cannot be counted as she touched and changed the lives of so many. One of her many gifts were the ability to mold her students and bring success to the future families of America. She demonstrated her love of educa-tion and her support of the people she worked with by her hard work as the President of the OCM BOCES New York State United Teachers Union. The school has graciously established a scholarship to honor Mrs. Lehmann - The OCM-BOCES Barbara A. Lehmann Scholarship Fund.

Barbara was a person of strong faith and a lifelong communicant of Saint Margaret's Church. It is her faith and her love of family that guided her on her journey. She supported her par-ish in many ways and is a past member of the Saint Margaret's Folk Group. She continued her commu-nity support as a Life Member and Past President of the Mattydale Fire Department Ladies Auxiliary. She is a member of the Mattydale American Legion Post #1832 Auxiliary.

Barbara A. (Groet) Lehmann

Barbara A. (Groet) Lehmann, 59, of South Plymouth Avenue in Matty-dale, made her way peacefully to heaven in the sunshine on Monday, at home, with her family by her side following a courageous battle with cancer.

Born on January 4th, 1950 in Roch-ester, NY, Barbara is the 2nd of her four siblings. She is predeceased by her loving parents Alice and Charles Groet and sorely missed that loving relationship with her parents. She celebrates now as she meets them again.

She met Ed, the love of her life, dur-ing her high school years and began their married life at Saint Margaret's Church on August 22, 1970. It was at that point she became the true heart and hero of her family.

She graduated from North Syracuse High School in 1968 and continued to pursue her professional future in Dietary Science at SUNY Cobleskill. She completed her education through SUNY Oswego earning a Bachelor of Science degree in Voca-tional Technical Education. Barbara worked diligently and was very suc-cessful as the "Upper Crust" Institu-tional Baking Teacher at OCM BO-CES and functioned as a Career Exploration professional for the stu-dents at the school. She retired from Onondaga, Cortland & Madison County BOCES in 2009 after 32 years of dedicated service to her co-workers and to the students she loved and respected. Her profes-sional accomplishments cannot be counted as she touched and changed the lives of so many. One of her many gifts were the ability to mold her students and bring success to the future families of America. She demonstrated her love of educa-tion and her support of the people she worked with by her hard work as the President of the OCM BOCES New York State United Teachers Union. The school has graciously established a scholarship to honor Mrs. Lehmann - The OCM-BOCES Barbara A. Lehmann Scholarship Fund.

Barbara was a person of strong faith and a lifelong communicant of Saint Margaret's Church. It is her faith and her love of family that guided her on her journey. She supported her par-ish in many ways and is a past member of the Saint Margaret's Folk Group. She continued her commu-nity support as a Life Member and Past President of the Mattydale Fire Department Ladies Auxiliary. She is a member of the Mattydale American Legion Post #1832 Auxiliary. She was also a member of the Red Hat Society.

She never repeated a performance and hers was an inclusive policy; she would amend the program so that anyone who wanted to participate, could. Margaret was held in high esteem by her peers for her work that gave children a voice, a role and often a higher self-esteem.

Tim attended CBA and graduated from West Genesee High School in 1960. Upon graduation, he joined the US Air Force, Strategic Air Command (SAC). He was stationed at Dow Air Force Base, Bangor, Maine from 1961 to 1964, where he pursued his love of firefighting, specializing in aircraft and structural methods of firefighting. His technical education included Air University and Aircraft Rescue and Fire Protection School in Greenville, MS. At Dow AFB, he was assigned the duty of fire station captain and fire protection inspector.

Upon discharge from the Air Force, Tim was hired in a civilian capacity at his last assigned military facility, Hancock AFB. Tim advanced through various positions from 1964 to 1969 and became Chief Fire Protection Inspector at Hancock AFB. During this time, Tim created and conducted a public fire prevention awareness campaign to reduce dollar fire loss. He indoctrinated Air Force personnel and their families on fire prevention methods and first aid. In 1968, he received a Federal Incentive Award for Superior Performance.

From 1969 to 1986 as Assistant Chief and until his retirement, as Chief of the Department, Tim was with Hancock Airport Rescue and Firefighting for the City of Syracuse, Department of Aviation at Syracuse International Airport. During this time, Tim organized special aircraft fire and disaster training programs for numerous Onondaga County fire and emergency units as part of the airport disaster plan. He loved his career, for it was in giving that he received.

As a young 9 year old boy, in Yonkers, Tim could be found at Shonnard Place Fire House where he was inspired by the men in uniform, by their shiny trucks and most of all by their dedication and loyalty to their community. It was at this time that he realized his dream and would become dedicated to his career of firefighting.

From 1971 to 1975 and 1977 to 1993, Tim served his local community fire department of North Syracuse as a volunteer. He served as a firefighter, lieutenant and captain through the years. He directed firefighter and officer training programs from 1972 to 1984. Tim was instrumental in establishing the local county link with the National Fire Academy fire service programs via satellite. He was crucial as video director to the development of the dedicated channel on the local cable television outlet featuring fire prevention and fire department awareness programs produced by local volunteers known as Fire Vision. He spoke highly of the people he volunteered with and their dedication to their community.

Tim's hobbies through the years were electronics, photography, broadcast communication and being a musician. Tim's love of playing the drums and vocalizing were enjoyed when he played in his high school band, "The Swinging Keystones" and his Air Force band, "The Del Tunes". From as early as his high school years, he loved broadcast communication and was a disc jockey at WOLF and several other local radio stations. His broadcast persona was known as "Rick Ryder". His love of broadcast continued until his illness at TK99. He also loved to fish.

Surviving are his son, Paul Timothy (Michelle); his grandchildren, Gabriella, Brandon and Joshua; a sister, Mary Carol (Joseph) Lechner; two brothers, Philip (Joan) and Denis (Carol); several nieces and nephews; countless friends and his four legged companion, Misty.
