Bruce R. Stonefoot

Bruce R. Stonefoot, 64, of Sheridan, New York, passed away on Tuesday, December 1, 2015 at his home after a courageous battle with cancer. He was born January 12, 1951 in Dunkirk, New York to the late Robert Stonefoot and Rita Ratkiewicz Stonefoot.

Bruce was a skilled and talented carpenter and ran Stonefoot’s Carpentry for over 40 years. Many local homes have been touched by his work and are testament to him as a craftsman and friend.

Bruce is survived by his mother, Rita Stonefoot of Brocton, NY; his wife of 20 years, Laura Henning Stonefoot; his two daughters, Kate Stonefoot-Chiu and husband Henry of Tewksbury, MA and Sarah Cross and husband Dustin and newborn son Grayson of Chittenango, NY; sisters, Lynne Card and husband Jim of Tangerine, FL, Sharon Nuse, and husband Steve and nephew Tyler of Kennedy NY; sister-in-law, Tacy Stonefoot and nephew Bob Stonefoot.

Bruce was preceded in death by his father Robert, his first wife, Barbara Luce Stonefoot and his brother Thom Stonefoot.

Bruce was a street rod enthusiast and enjoyed building cars and driving them throughout the country. He was also a master gardener, with the most beautiful English garden that he tended to with the help of his family. But most of all, Bruce was a wonderful son, husband, father and friend to many. He will be greatly missed.

There will be no visiting hours. A Celebration of Life will take place in the spring. Memorial donations can be made to the Chautauqua County Hospice Services.
