Mr. Sever was raised in Gowanda. Always proud of where he came from, his heart and soul never left Gowanda.
He loved working at the farm and spending time with family.
He was the husband of Frannie; son of the late Anthony and Anna Sever; father of 10 children; and grandfather of 27 grandchildren. Besides his parents, he was preceded in death by a son, David Mark, and stepson Christopher Chapman.
