Leo and Jean (Stowe) Rafte of Sherrill are celebrating their 60th wedding anniversary on Sept. 17, 2009. They were married at St. Patrick’s Church, Oneida on Sept. 17, 1949 by the late Msgr. Thomas Quinn. They are planning to renew their vows at their present parish of St. Helena’s in Sherrill with the Rev. William Mesmer officiating. Both Leo and Jean have been very active members of their church over the years. They are the parents of three children: James and Barbara Rafte of Dover, DE; Karen and William Crowley of Rochester, NH and Michael Rafte of Scranton, PA. They have six grandchildren. They thank the Lord for a wonderful married life and the many blessings he has bestowed on them and their family over the years.
