Hyland W. “Hy” Plimpton Jr., 84, went home to be with his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, on Friday, August 11, 2023 at his home surrounded by his family. Born in Tarrytown, New York, Hyland was a son of the late Hyland and Addie Plimpton Sr. Directly following high school, Hyland served in the U.S. Army Reserves from 1956-1964. He earned his bachelors degree from Siena College in Chemistry. Hyland retired as vice president of sales and marketing at General Electric where he was employed for 43 years. He was an active member of Pathway Community Church and served as local missions director. Hyland’s dedication to the mission field is summed up by him in these words, “Local missions are a key part of our church values, we are the hands and feet of Jesus and will do His work in our community.” His willingness to volunteer to those organizations he felt called to never ended. He was dedicated to the cause and was adamant on helping those in need. This deep care for others comes from His love for his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. His other passions were family, traveling, golfing, painting, poetry, baking and rooting for the Chicago Cubs. Surviving are his wife Marie Plimpton; children, Todd Plimpton, Shana (Steve) Pearson, Matthew (Melissa) Plimpton; grandchildren; Crystal, Rachel, Kenny, Max, Charlie, Annabelle, Gracie, Josie; great-grandchildren; Garrett, Henry, Harrison, Albanie, Lilly, Clark; and brothers, Gary and Randy Plimpton. A Celebration of Hyland’s Life will be 11 am, Saturday, August 26, 2023 at Pathway Community Church with calling one hour prior.
