years, she retired Dec. 20, 1985. After retirement she and husband John

She was an excellent seamstress and made clothes and did alterations for

JOHN ELDEN LANDMESSER, 91, of Dresden, NY
(formerly of Powell, PA), passed away, Saturday, November 13, 2021, at
Geneva General Hospital, Geneva, NY, following a period of declining health.
Born May 4, 1930 at Mills Hospital, Towanda, PA, he was the youngest son of
Clarence & Ella Mae (Northrup) Landmesser of Powell, PA. Before graduation
from the Towanda High School in 1949, John enlisted in the Navy Reserves. It
was during lineup for senior pictures that he met the love of his life,
Bernice Berry. In 1950, John enlisted with the US Marine Corps. He served in
Korea where he was awarded the Purple Heart. Following his honorable
discharge, John and Bernie were married on February 14, 1953 (He always
joked that if it was on Valentine’s Day, he was sure to never forget their
anniversary). They settled in their home in Monroe Township and it was there
that John honed his carpentry skills, remodeling room by room over the
years. Following a few years of employment with DuPont, John was employed
with GTE Sylvania in Towanda for 27.5 years, retiring in 1986. He
contributed to three patents during his employment. After retirement he and
Bernie spent many winters in Florida. They were avid campers with the French
Choppers camping club and spent vacations camping with their family on trips
from Canada to Florida. He was always up for a good squirt gun fight with
the younger members of the camping club. Pitching horseshoes was a favorite
activity for John and he managed to win a few trophies for his efforts. He
also grew several types of apple trees. He and Bernie were quite the team
for peeling apples for pies and applesauce. John liked to keep busy in his
woodworking shop – making furniture ranging from bookshelves, gun cabinets,
tater crates, rocking chairs for dolls and a dulcimer. John was a member of
the Monroeton United Methodist Church and attended the Dresden United
Methodist Church. He enjoyed music, be it hymns, pop or classical. He was
especially fond of the Lawrence Welk show and the PA Polka TV show. John was
a 32nd degree Mason with Union Wyalusing Lodge No. 108. He was a member of
the Marine Corps League 445 Penn-York detachment MCL, and Towanda American
Legion Post No 42. John loved to “go” places. He and Bernie covered many
miles traveling the country roads in the Endless Mountains area and visiting
the various public gardens in central Florida. Many folks will recall their
annual trek to southern PA to bring back nearly 40 bushels of peaches. They
really enjoyed family picnics, weekends on Seneca Lake and Sunday hikes and
hotdog roasts on Barclay Mountain. John will be remembered for his quick wit
and sense of humor and his enormous sweet tooth. John was preceded in death
by his wife, his parents and his brothers Clarence L. “ Buddy”, Carl Edward,
and Robert Eugene. John, is survived by, son, David J. (Sue) Landmesser of
Towanda, daughters, Nancy Sarver of Dresden, NY, and Susan (Rick) Rossetti
