Henry W. Whitesell, 55, of Rexville, NY, died Sunday,
October 22, 2017 in his home. Born April
5, 1962, in Wellsville, NY, he was the son of Francis Melvin and Marjorie
Faulkner Whitesell. Henry worked as a
farmhand, logger, and woodcutter and was a jack of all trades. He was the type of man that would give you
the shirt off his back. If there was
something that you needed, he would give it to you or let you borrow it with no
questions asked. He would stop whatever
he was doing to help you out. Henry loved
all his kids and tried to the best of his ability to give and provide for them
so they could have the best life possible.
Surviving are: five children,
Jeanette (Walter) Hammond, Ashley (Steve) Gallaher, Betty Sue Whitesell, Dustin
W. Whitesell, and Kiley Whitesell; three
grandchildren, Anthony Limprun, McKayla Gallaher, and Riley Gallaher; six siblings, Nancy (Jeff) Empson, Ann
Whitesell, Lillian (Shawn) Delill, Amy (Robert Lewis) Whitesell, Dennis
Whitesell, and Shirley Ryan; nieces,
nephews, and cousins; and longtime
friend, Helen Snyder. In addition to his
parents, he was predeceased by a sister, Vicki Whitesell. Friends may call at the Olney Funeral Home
