He was a 1950 graduate of William Penn High School and served in the U.S. Army during the Korean Conflict and also spent time in Germany. He was a very faithful member of Bethlehem Stonepile U.M.

Church in Windsor Troop #44. In addition to his wife, Shirley, he is survived by two daughters, Suzette E. Snyder of Red Lion and husband, Matthew, and Cynthia A. Holland of York and husband, Todd; three grandchildren, Kara Holland, Paige Holland, and Joseph Burns and his wife, Alexa; one great-grandson, Landon William Burns; and brother-in-law, Darwin L. Rupp of Dallastown. He was preceded in death by a son, Jeffrey Lee Tredway, who went to be with the Lord on August 27, 2003. There will be a viewing from 6 to 8 p.m. Thursday, at Burg Funeral Home, Inc., 134 W. Broadway, Red Lion, and on Friday from 9 to 10 a.m. at Bethlehem Stonepile U.M.

Burial will be at Bethlehem Stonepile U.M. Church Cemetery with full military rites by the Dallastown American Legion Post #605.

He was a very caring and giving man who always put the needs of others before his own. He enjoyed camping, wrestling, and hiking (he hiked the C & O canal). But most important in his life were his family and his dogs. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him. Online condolences may be made at www.BurgFuneralHome.com
