Robert G. Stage

He was born on Feb. 8, 1935, in Cortland, the son of Robert G. Stage and Flora (Nightengale) Stage Mowers.
He was married to Julia Hendrickson Stage for 42 1/2 years. She survives.

Kinch; four grandsons, Joseph and Andrew Ritchey, and Nicholas and Justin Stage; one granddaughter, Kayla Stage; two sisters, Betty Ryan, Oxford, and Shirley and husband, Norman, Mowers, Norwich; five grandnieces and nephews; many close friends; and former co-workers.
