oObit*July 2022  In July 2022 the obituary of Frank Elliott Brodie read: Frank Elliot Brodie, 78, of South Valley, passed away peacefully at home on Thursday afternoon, May 26, 2022 while battling non-Hodgkin's lymphoma for the fifth time.
Born in Cooperstown, on November 1, 1943, Frank was the eldest of seven children born to Elliot and Luella (Mabie) Brodie, who lived in Cherry Valley at the time and later moved to South Valley. Growing up, Frank regularly attended worship services and youth group at the South Valley First Christian Church and he was active in 4-H. He attended Cherry Valley Central School where he was member of the FFA, graduating in June 1963.
Frank grew up working on his family's dairy farm in South Valley where he started making maple syrup at age twelve when he helped with the boiling in a little saphouse in the edge of the woods down behind the farmhouse. He started his own maple syrup business in 1960, expanding into not only making and selling maple products, but he also became a dealer in selling equipment and supplies. In the late 1960's and early 1970's, he was the first one to do custom work for other maple producers by installing tubing systems.
In the early years, he did 5,000 taps with buckets which was converted to all maple tubing with 6,000 taps in 1975. By 1990, Frank was tapping 25,000, all with maple tubing. Frank also eventually started his own custom tubing washing business. Frank helped found and organize the Otsego County Maple Producers Association and was instrumental in starting the Otsego County Maple Festival.
He served on the board of the New York State Maple Producers and also served three years as the coordinator for the New York State Maple Queens after they were chosen for the position. He was a member of the Catskill Maple Association. He was also a director to the New York St Maple Producer's Association for the Catskill Association. Frank became a member of the Schoharie County Maple Festival board of directors shortly after it was founded back in the mid-1960's.
When Frank was first diagnosed with cancer in November of 2003, the board of directors honored him by dedicating the April 2004 Maple Festival booklet to him. Even though Frank was fighting cancer and bedridden most of the time, he made it to this year's Maple Festival at the Cobleskill Fairgrounds in April. That day, he was surprised and honored with Lifetime Achievement Citations from Senator Peter Oberacker and Assemblyman Chris Tague.
He was a county representative on the New York State Farm Bureau Promotion and Education committee and served on the American Farm Bureau as Forestry representative from the New York Farm Bureau.
Survivors include his six siblings, Elliott Jr. "Sonny"and Linda Brodie of Summerfield, Florida, Mary Lou and Dave Bach of Meadville, Pennsylvania, Charley and Joanne Brodie of South Valley, Carol Brodie of South Valley, Barb and Mick Kineke of Mohawk, and Donna and Steve Hatch of McGraw.
He is also survived by 11 nephews, 4 nieces, 15 great-nephews, 9 great-nieces, one great-great nephew and a great-great nephew or niece on the way, as well as numerous cousins. Frank was predeceased by both of his parents, his niece Brandy Brodie, and all of his aunts and uncles on both sides of the family.
