Donald George Paterson of Binghamton Donald George "Don" Paterson, 83, of Binghamton, N.Y., and Melbourne, Fla., passed away peacefully at his home in Binghamton on Friday, September 28, after a short but courageous battle with cancer. He is survived by his wife of 58 years, Nancy Atwater Paterson; two daughters, Sarah "Sally" Reutlinger, Auburn, N.Y., and Nancy Paterson, Bethesda, Md.; son-in-law, Charles "Chuck" Reutlinger; granddaughters, Emily Reutlinger and Martha Reutlinger; his brother, Samuel D. Paterson; and several nieces and nephews. The proud son of a Scotsman, Don was born on July 6, 1924 in Norwood, Ohio, and was predeceased by his parents, Rev. William Tait Paterson and Wanda Carey Paterson; brothers, William T. Paterson and James C. Paterson; and sister, Esther M. Paterson. He served in the Army in World War II and graduated from Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, in 1949. After graduating and getting married, Don and his family settled in the Binghamton area. During most of his career, Don was employed at Wilson Memorial Hospital for 23 years as Assistant Controller and Assistant Treasurer of Eckelberger Towers before his retirement in 1987. A member of First Presbyterian Church in Binghamton for over 50 years, he held a number of positions with the church and volunteered his time to many church projects. Don was also an active member of the Johnson City Rotary Club. An avid golfer, he was extremely proud of the hole-in-one he got on March 4, 1996. Known affectionately as "Arnie" by his golfing buddies, Don enjoyed participating in several golf leagues over the years at Chenango Valley State Park. He was also a devoted gardener, photographer, and traveler. The family would like to thank the nursing staff of South Tower Five at Wilson Hospital and the staff of Lourdes Hospice, especially Dixy, Cindy, and Sarah, for their kind and compassionate care. Don was a wonderfully kind and gentle man who was much beloved by his family and many friends. His warm spirit, delightful sense of humor, love of life, and devotion to his family will be remembered by all who knew him.

The funds will be used to create a golfing scholarship for young golfers and for a special gardening fund at First Presbyterian Church.
