Born in Ephratah, Mr. Empie was the son of Alton and Mary Heron Empie. He lived in Sharon Springs several years and attended schools there. He was a Navy veteran of World War II.
Survivors include his widow, Mrs. Noreen Meyers Empie; two sons, Timothy and William Empie; a daughter, Cynthia Empie; two stepsons, Donald and James Pettit and a stepdaughter, Jean Pettit; three brothers, Richard and Leo Empie of Sharon Springs and Jack Empie, serving with the Navy; six sisters, Mrs. William Mackey of Edmonton, Canada, Mrs. Leon Carpenter of Fonda, Mrs. Roy Lettis of Fort Plain, Mrs. John Gajowski of Palatine Bridge, Mrs. Donald Searles of Canajoharie and Miss Patricia Empie.of Sharon Springs; also several nieces and nephews.- Newpaper Account (The Leader - Herland, Gloversville - Johnstown, NY, Tuesday March 23, 1971)
...
The following is an account of the accident as told by the victim, Donald Searles:
"While a friend, the late Bob Empie was attempting to refuel a snowmobile along a street in the village of Ames, a car approached us from behind, suddenly veering toward us. Jones was standing on the opposite side of the machine and at this instant, he reached across, grabbing me around the neck, attempting to pull me to safety."
The account further read: The auto struck my right leg and ran over my left foot, breaking bones in both. The car continued on, striking and pinning Empie against the trailer from which the machine had just been unloaded. Empie's injuries were serious and he later succumbed in the Albany Medical Center. After the accident, Jones very calmly assisted in caring for the injured and transferring same to the ambulance. He later assisted in removing all the debris from the highway. I am sure that if it has not been for Jones quick thinking and immediate action, I would have been injured more seriously, if not fatally."

- Robert Wykle, died Sunday, January 8, 1978 of a massive heart attack. He was described as a man who would do anything for the village of Lyons.
Wykle, 58, of 5 North Canal St., died while having coffee with friends at Helen's Restaurant on the Old Clyde Road. He began a four-year term as town councilman Jan. 1 and served at his first and last meeting in that capacity at the annual organizational meeting Wednesday night. Long active in Democratic politics and local government, the Lyons native has
spent the past 10 years working to improve the business climate in the county and especially in the village.
"He was a great politician," Mayor John Dashney, a Republican and longtime friend, said this morning. But when it came to the people of Lyons, politics didn't count. He was out there for the people. He helped so many people in Lyons, young and old."
Wykle was instrumental in forming the Lyons industrial Development Corp. (IDC) a non-profit organization which attempted to attract business to the community. He was president of the group for eight years. He was a charter member and one of the founders of the Wayne Economic Development
Corp. and served four years on the board of directors. Russell Fowler, director of that organization, said this morning, Wykle's first interest was in industrial development to Lyons. "He was a very resourceful man and had very good judgement:, Fowler said. "He's always been able to come through and help solve our problems.: Fowler said Wykle and several other Lyons residents formed the Lyons IDC 10 years ago with their own
credit to finance the early stages of developing the industrial park on Dunn Road. He was instrumental in obtaining federal grants for water improvements to the industrial park and helped get Parker-Hannifin Corp. to build its plant there. "Wykle kept his enthusiasm, kept his drive, and kept the local organization going" Fowler said.
William Paterson, town councilman and former supervisor, credited Wykle with getting him interested in politics. "He's not only going to be missed by the party, but he's going to be missed in the community," Paterson said.
Peter Stirpe commented, "Bob was Mr. Democrat of Wayne County. He taught me a lot. We could disagree or agree, but he always let me get my say. He knew every step involved in politics, how to obtain grants, loans, and assistance from Albany. I will never forget how proud Bob was when John
F. Kennedy became President. I knew then, and there how hard a person had to work to stay in politics. Bob had patience, he always said just do what's rights, the wins will come. I sure am going to miss that guy. My sympathy goes to the family, but they can always be proud of their man."
Wayne County Democratic Chairman, Frank DeRenzo said "The county lost a dedicated individual in Bob Wykle. He was active and dedicated in everything he did especially in the field of industrial development. I am personally aware of the many hours spent in promoting Lyons and Wayne County for perspective industries. He was really concerned about jobs
that could be available for the residents of the County. The Democratic Party lost a great leader. He held us together through 10 lean years and we'll deeply miss him."
Wykle served as Democratic town chairman from 1956-66 and 1966-76 in a predominately Republican community. "He was a great believer in the two party system", Paterson said of Wykle's continued enthusiasm and involvement with the minority party. "It was ironic that for the first time we got control of the town board, we never got to utilize that advantage."
