William George Davis

William "Bill" Davis a lifelong resident of Livingston Manor passed away peacefully on January 28, 2026, at Garnet Health Medical Center. He was 57 years old.

Bill was born on February 7, 1968, in Liberty, NY, to the late Robert Davis and Janet Kleingardner Davis. Bill was deeply rooted in his community and well known by many who were fortunate enough to cross his path.

Bill was a skilled mechanic who truly could fix anything with a motor. He specialized in small engine machines, but his talent and knowledge went far beyond that. Hunting and fishing were among his favorite pastimes, and he had a deep love and respect for animals. Known as an all-around good guy and a big teddy bear at heart, Bill was always happy, approachable, and someone you could rely on for a good conversation or a helping hand.

Family meant everything to Bill-especially his grandchildren, whom he absolutely lived for. He was also famous for his baked goods, particularly his cookies and donuts during Christmastime, which friends and family looked forward to every year. His barbecue skills were legendary, and his chicken was a favorite at gatherings.

Bill leaves behind to cherish his memory his loving wife, Crystal Davis; his children, Amber and her boyfriend Craig, Nathan and his wife Nytashia, and Tammy; and his six beloved grandchildren, Kyra, Keelie, Taylor, Keaton, Waylon, and Nolan. He is also survived by his sister, Jean, and his brother, Fred.

He was predeceased by his brothers, Mike, Timmy, and Chris.

May he rest in peace.

The family would like to extend their heartfelt gratitude to all of Bill's friends and loved ones for the kindness, love, and support shown during this difficult time.

Memorial visitation will be held on Tuesday, February 10th, from 3:00 to 5:00 p.m. at Colonial Bryant Funeral Home, 29 Pearl Street, Livingston Manor, New York.

Vincent Ziniewicz

Vincent Raymond Ziniewicz passed away on January 2, 2026, at Garnet Health Medical Center. He was 81 years old.

Vincent was born on June 27, 1944, in Ashland, Pennsylvania, and was the son of the late Ruth Freed. He proudly served his country in the United States Marine Corps during the Vietnam war before beginning a lifelong career in education and service to others.

Vincent started his professional career as a physical education teacher at Tri-Valley Central School, where he also coached football and basketball. He later became the Recreational Supervisor at Woodbourne Correctional Facility. Even after retiring, Vincent's love for teaching never faded, and he returned to education as a substitute teacher in the Ellenville School District. He truly loved working with children and took great pride in encouraging and motivating them to follow their dreams.

An avid reader and lifelong advocate of staying physically active, Vincent enjoyed running, swimming, golfing, and spending as much time outdoors as possible. Even during the winter months, he could often be found bundled up in blankets outside, enjoying the fresh air with his daughter's dog, Olympia, faithfully by his side. He also enjoyed building and landscaping his beautiful property in the woods. He often would call it the Ziniewicz resort. He had a special fondness for cars-especially BMWs. Over the years, he owned several vehicles, each one telling a story of a different chapter in his life.

Vincent loved camping, biking and hiking particularly when his daughter was younger. As his family grew, he cherished spending time with his grandchildren and traveling with his beloved wife. He enjoyed the aspects of cruising, whether watching the waves, exploring new destinations, or simply sharing the experience together. Among his favorite travels were visits to the Panama Canal, Hawaii and Alaska. His absolute favorite destination was visiting his daughter and family in Methuen,Massachusetts. He loved spending time in their backyard oasis complete with a pool for swimming laps.

Spiritual by nature, Vincent found comfort in journaling and reflection. He was adventurous, family-oriented, and known for his fun-loving and determined personality. One of his favorite sayings was, "Never quit, never give up on your dreams." That philosophy guided his life and inspired those around him.

Vincent will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him. He leaves behind his devoted wife of 54 years, Rosey Ziniewicz; his daughter, Melanie Ricupero, and her husband, Ben; his cherished granddaughters, Isabella and Grace Ricupero; his sister, Linda Levine, and her husband, Alan; as well as many nieces, nephews, cousins, brothers- and sisters-in-law, and dear friends.

She was a source of love, warmth and strength to all who knew her. She will be greatly missed and forever in our hearts. She was an avid reader, loved gardening and was always doing yard work, even while battling cancer she trimmed the hedges. She loved taking care of her chickens. When she told us she got chickens we all thought, that's nice, how many did you get? She told us 50, we were all surprised but not surprised!

"You don't know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have." Rose was always a strong, independent woman, and she fought valiantly against the deadly foe. "It is not the strength of the body that counts, but the strength of the spirit." Cancer claimed her body, but her spirit soars free and she is now at peace.

She was preceded in death by her parents Edwin Fredenburgh and Esther Thomas, her first husband Carl Huebsch and her son William Huebsch.
