Harold M. ‘Reds' Carodiskey 
Danville man oldest Montour County veteran
Harold M. "Reds" Carodiskey, 94, formerly of 625 E. Market St., Danville, and since 
Sept. 30, 2011, a guest of Maria Joseph Manor, passed away peacefully on Christmas 
Eve, Dec. 24, 2012, at Emmanuel Nursing Center, where he had been a patient since

Harold was born Dec. 2, 1918, to Harry F. and Mary E. (Miller) Carodiskey. He 
graduated from Danville High School with the Class of 1936 and was known for his 
pole vaulting and diving while a student.
He attained the rank of master sergeant in the Army Air Force during World War II and 
served in the U.S. and England for two-and-a-half years with the Hq. Det., 384th 
Bomb group (H) of the 8th Air Force. He was very proud of his service and of being 
the oldest Montour County veteran.
Mr. Carodiskey worked in the purchasing and accounting offices of Kennedy Van 
Saun, retiring in 1983 after 45 years.
He was a devoted member of St. Paul's Emmanuel United Methodist Church and the 
American Legion, Post 40, as well as a member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, 
Danville Elks Club and Washies Fire Company.
In addition to his wife (and favorite dancing partner), Harold is survived by two 
daughters: Janis Williams of Danville and Lynne Carodiskey of West Mifflin, as well as 
a granddaughter in-law, Dee Williams, and his pride and joy, grandson Chad Williams 
of Silver Spring, Md., who he affectionately called "my little friend."
He was the last surviving member of his immediate family. A sister, Margaret, and 
brother, Robert, preceded him in death.
