Byfield - Born December 21, 1925 in Manhattan, NY, Robert Deane Stoehr passed away on March 29, 2025 at the Anna Jacques Hospital. Known as Deane, he lived in Byfield, MA since 1954. He grew up in Bayside, NY, the youngest of four siblings. During WWII he served in the U. S. Army Air Corps and trained as a tail gunner in B-29s. He attended Lehigh University, then married Joan Boenke, his high school sweetheart, who passed away in 2001 after battling cancer.
