Born in Auburn and raised in Jordan, Bush died Tuesday at about 10:30 p.m., at Community General Hospital, in Syracuse, after a five-year battle with cancer.
"He was a worker and a fighter and no one really knew he had cancer for almost five years," said his son, Brian Bush. "He was in remission several times, but he just didn't want to talk about it. He never stopped working as the owner and president of our four funeral homes."
