From the Albany Times Union, August 1, 2012: Barnum, Audry Leo. Millville, Del. Audry "Lee" Barnum of Millville, Delaware, formerly from Clifton Park, N.Y., passed away at home on Friday afternoon, July 27, 2012 from a heart attack. His wife and daughter were at his side. He was born on May 10, 1920 and was 92 years old. He is survived by his wife of 66 years, Dorothy; his daughter Pamela; and his three sons, Terry, Gary (Debbie) and Gregory (Lori). His immediate family includes, five grandchildren, Taylor, Ryan, Heather (Ploude), Dustyn, Dyllan; and three great-grandchildren. Lee was born in Lexington N.Y. After graduating from high school he joined the Army Air Corps, serving with distinction during World War II. After his discharge he married Dorothy and raised his family while working as a bus driver, truck driver, and loyal member of the Teamsters Union for over 35 years. Following his retirement from the Teamsters in 1982, he and his wife and daughter moved to Delaware and built their home in Millville. Lee, Dottie, and Pam started a business "Barnum's Ship Shape Service, which still operates today with long time employee and close family friend Chris Pleasanton. Lee immersed himself in several interests through his long and fruitful life. Motorcycles were always a passion with Lee, only surpassed by his love of flying. There were always airplanes around. Usually, one to fly, one to rebuild, and one to try and figure out what to do with. In his sons' early years they got involved in go cart racing which was more fun than successful. He leaves many memories of a loving husband and father who, with Dorothy, raised four healthy children who are now leading their own successful lives because of their parents' influence. In keeping with Lee's wishes, he will be cremated and there will be no viewing or graveside services.
