David William Lufkin, 83, proud lifelong resident of Argyle, NY passed away peacefully on
Wednesday, February 23, 2022, at his home surrounded by loving family.
He was born on May 25, 1938, on Mt. Rascal in Argyle to his late parents Lester and Mary
"Busy" (Williamson) Lufkin. He graduated from Argyle Central School, Class of 1957. He liked
to reminisce about their Champion Basketball Team of that year.
Dave is survived by his "Bride" of over 60 years, Cecelia Ives Lufkin, whom he married on August
27, 1961 at St. Joseph's Church in Fort Edward. Together they raised five children on the
family farm.
He was a true farmer his entire life. He raised chickens as a young boy, and over
many years built up his dairy farm on Kinney Road. After selling his dairy cows, he enjoyed
his 'retirement' job at the Fullerton Farm in Argyle which he enjoyed very much.
Foremost, Dave loved his family!! He loved all gatherings, reunions, car rides, and sporting events that
his grandchildren were involved in. In his later years, he enjoyed riding
around town, spending time with his friends, visiting at Stewarts and also Monday mornings at
the Firehouse.
