Frederic (Fritz) A Dailey Sr. of Gansevoort, New York, passed away peacefully surrounded by his family on Saturday May 20th, 2017, at Wesley Health Care Center. To all those who knew him it will come as no surprise that his big heart remained strong right up until his last breath. He was 88 years old.

Born on January 22nd, 1929 in Watertown New York, he was the son of Helen M Smith Dailey.

Fred graduated from Watertown High School class of 1947. Upon graduating, he went to work as a Salesman for Buster Brown shoes in Watertown and later transferred to the Saratoga Springs area and managed Rowes, a shoe store on Broadway. He then accepted a position at Prudential Life Insurance Company, quickly becoming a million-dollar salesman. His final employment was with Macy’s where he helped to launch the Macy’s in Colonie Center. He retired in 1991.

In 1993 Frederic and his wife moved to Henderson, Nevada and lived there until returning to the Saratoga Springs area in 2013.

Fred met the love of his love, Gertrude, when he was 18 years old. They married on October 8, 1949, and spent the next 67 years dancing in each other’s arms whenever possible. He loved children and was blessed with five sons who learned generosity and unending kindness from their adored dad.

Fred was a very spiritual person and read the Bible whenever possible. He lived his beliefs – always making room at the dinner table and in his heart for anyone who crossed his path.

He was active in the Saratoga Congregational Church, Saratoga Springs Kiwanis Club, and Saratoga youth baseball. He also was a Boy Scouts Master for many years. He had a great talent for meeting new people and was widely known as the “Candyman” as he always gave those he met Werther’s candies.

He is survived by his wife Gertrude Brown Dailey of Gansevoort, NY, 5 sons, Frederic Dailey Jr. and his wife Debra of Ravena NY, David R. Dailey and his wife Francine of Moreau NY, Kevin J Dailey and his wife Susan of Penfield New York, Robert M.
