2004-10-30/2019-02-11 - From Organ Database Builders editor Charles Eberline, April 21, 2018. - Ronald H. Carlone Sr. was born in Utica, New York, on December 5, 1933. After he graduated from high school in 1951, he went to work for Utica Drop Forge/Kelsey Hayes/Utica Corporation, where he was employed as a master tool and gauge maker until his retirement in 1994, except for service in the United States Army in Germany from 1956 to 1958. He was a pipe organ enthusiast. His obituary reported that he had been part of the crew that had worked to restore the pipe organ that had once been in the Stanley Theatre in Utica and had been moved to Proctor High School auditorium. He also devoted four years to the restoration and installation of the organ in St. Agnes Roman Catholic Church in Utica, his home parish. (The church closed in 2009, and the parish merged with St. Anthony Roman Catholic Church to become St. Anthony and St. Agnes Church. The Utica Observer-Dispatch story does not state what was to become of the organ.) Ronald Carlone died on May 14, 2016, in Upstate University Hospital in Syracuse, New York.
