HOWARD "CAPPY" SCHWORM

Groundskeeper| 1954-1975

Cappy was born in in Delanson New York to a local blacksmith and his wife; Willis and Hazel Townsend Schworm,  He finished his education years ahead of his peers and served his country by joining the Army in 1949, returning to marry the love of his life, Nancy in 1954. He worked as a career butcher for the Navy Commissary and maintained a butcher shop in his home where he taught his sons not only about hard work, but about life. Cappy’s butcher shop was not only a place of hard work, but more importantly it was a place where stories were told, wild game dinners were cooked and lifetime friendships were developed. Cappy’s grandsons often said that Grandpa’s butcher shop was the ultimate man cave.
