B Dennis Brundage July 5, 1934 - April 6, 2021 SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. Dennis Brundage, 86, passed away in his Scottsdale, Arizona home on April 6, 2021, surrounded by his family. Dennis was born on July 5, 1934, in Middletown to Arthur Sr and Dorothy (Hubler) Brundage.

He graduated from Oneonta High School in 1951.

While in high school he mowed the grass at the old Keyes airport in the Oneonta West End in exchange for flying lessons. Dennis graduated from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in 1955 with a degree in mechanical engineering.

After graduation, he moved to Santa Monica, California, to work for Douglas Aircraft.

While living in Santa Monica he met LouAnn Lunden, where they married in 1955.

They moved to Oneonta, in 1957 to work in the family business, Oneonta Bus Lines and Eastern Tours.

Dennis helped run the bus company both in the front office and working on the buses with the mechanics.

He also drove buses on many tours with his wife LouAnn helping as tour guide on trips all over the country. After selling the business, they moved to Scottsdale, Arizona, in 1987.

Dennis was a successful businessman in Scottsdale as a partner in a bus leasing business and a glass company, Diamond Glass, along with his friend of 30 years, Cary Gagon. As part owner of his many businesses, he

was always involved on all levels, not afraid to get his hands dirty working on engines along with his employees or driving buses long distances without complaint.

Dennis had a passion for motorcycles, cars, buses, and airplanes. He continually had a motorcycle from his teen years until he was 80, taking many long distance trips with friends and cycle groups. He was a kind and generous soul and will be greatly missed by his family and friends.

Dennis is survived by his daughters and sons-in-law, Susan and Kevin Brown; Victoria and Eric White of Salem, Oregon; son, Todd Brundage of Portland, Oregon; grandchildren, Nigel Brundage, Henry Brown, Erik Brown, and Madeline White; great-grandson, Brody Brundage, all of Oregon; and brother, Arthur Brundage Jr of Oneonta.

He was predeceased by his wife, LouAnn, in 2008.

Albert L. Colone July 8, 1944 - April 13, 2021

ONEONTA - Albert L. Colone, 76, of Oneonta, passed away April 13, 2021, at Bassett Hospital, Cooperstown.

He was born July 8, 1944, in Oneonta, the son of the late Ani Pasquale and Eva Gloria (Jerome) Colone.

He grew up on River Street, in his beloved Sixth Ward, playing sandlot sports and generally tormenting the Wilcox's and others with his older brother, Frank. Albert ultimately ended up a lifelong resident of the Sixth Ward and helped to establish the Sixth Ward Athletic Club and served as the club's first president.

Albert graduated from Oneonta High School in 1962 and proudly serve his country in the United States Army from 1966 to 1968, when he was honorably discharged.

It was during his time in the Army that he re-kindled his childhood love of drumming and percussion and attributed that musical background to extending his life from that point forward.

His volunteer position as battalion drummer and later, percussionist for the Second Armored Division Band, kept him on post at Ford Hood, Texas, when many of his peers left for and never returned from the war in Vietnam. With this to consider, it is easy to understand his passion for music and the importance of it throughout his life. There is no doubt that Albert had a rhythm and a beat that was all his own.

After leaving the Army, Albert returned home to Oneonta and took up a carpentry apprenticeship while starting a band with two other local musicians, Joel Chace and Tom Ives. After two years of performing as a trio, the band added a

fourth member, Rick Lawn, and formed the jazz quartet, Compass. Compass released its album, Compass Rises, in 1973 and in the same year, performed at the opening of the Saratoga Performing Arts Center. Even as the members moved on into their "9-to-5" careers, the band reunited frequently and continued to perform over a remarkable 45-year period.

Over the course of the 1970s, Albert spent his time working for the City of Oneonta and eventually took the reins of the Parks and Recreation Department, working to revitalize the City's parks while promoting community engagement and activities, such as the Sixth Ward Fast-Pitch Softball League. The League, and in particular games played under the lights of the Sixth Ward, were a highlight that he looked back on often. It was in 1977, after a stretch of successful soccer campaigns at both Hartwick and Oneonta State, that he was asked by Mayor Jim Lettis "Is there such a thing as a National Soccer Hall of Fame?" Enamored with Cooperstown's example, Albert took on the task to bring the Soccer Hall to Oneonta.....and in 1983, against all odds, he did just that. Oneonta was Soccertown, USA. During his tenure as director, Albert oversaw the acquisition and development of the Wright National Soccer Campus and was responsible for the establishment and expansion of the Hall's summer soccer tournament series, which would become a staple for elite travel soccer programs as well as a yearly shot-in-the arm to area businesses.

After leaving the Hall, he founded Colone Associates, a sport-business consulting

firm that focused on facilities development and tournament/event planning for communities seeking tourism revenue as means for bolstering economic development. In addition to working with the Chenango Soccer Club to develop the Emerson Sports Farm, Colone Associates successfully ran numerous multiweekend soccer tournaments both in Allentown, Pennsylvania (The Great Lehigh Valley Open) and Binghamton (B.C. Kicks), both of which were considered elite competitions and financial boons to their respective communities. Even while running his smallbusiness, Albert's love for Oneonta remained steadfast as he continued to work with community leaders to spur economic development as a member of the Greater Oneonta Economic Development Council and the Mohawk Valley Economic Development District, always seeking to make a better Oneonta.

During his later years, he enjoyed spending time with his friends and family.

Whether it be on the golf course, at the Saratoga Race Course, or just around the table with some good food and a few drinks, telling stories and having laughs.

It goes without saying that Albert enjoyed his life to the fullest and extracted the most out each and every role that he filled throughout.

Athlete, veteran, builder, musician, promoter, entrepreneur, leader, father, grandfather and most of all dreamer.

At his core, Albert Colone was always, first-and-foremost, a dreamer. You could see it in his eyes and hear it in his voice and in his heart.

He was so fortunate that that as a result of a lifetime

hard work and in most cases, brute-force, stubborn, determination, he was able to see many of his dreams become reality.

His loss is felt by the entire family, his many friends and by the community-atlarge.

Albert is survived by his two sons, Luke (Ashley) Colone, West Deptford, New Jersey and Gregory Colone, Monroeville, Pennsylvania; siblings, Frank (Margaret), Lucia and Patrick Colone; and grandchildren, Holden Parker and Hadley Elizabeth Colone, the lights of his life.

In lieu of flowers or gifts, please consider supporting a cause close to your heart in Albert's remembrance and live your life by his motto each and every day that you can.

John Stephen Draper

Lincoln Carl Faulkner

Gertrude Ann Filupeit

Aug. 20, 1948 - March 29, 2021

Feb. 12, 1930 - April 21, 2021

Dec. 14, 1928 - April 16, 2021

RICHFIELD SPRINGS - On March 29, 2021, John Stephen Draper, loving husband, father and grandfather, passed away suddenly and peacefully in his sleep at his home in Richfield Springs.

John was born on Aug. 20, 1948, in Memphis, Tennessee.

He received his bachelor's degree from Antioch College in Ohio in 1971 after participating in their co-op program and working with the McCarter Theatre at Princeton, the New York Shakespeare Festival, and the U.S. Geological Survey.

John also starred in "The Antioch Adventure" (parts I and II), which has been cherished by Antioch students for more than 50 years.

After Antioch, John began his career in the music industry, working for bands like Dr. Hook, Journey, Michael Jackson, and Prince. He capped off his music career by managing Madonna's Blonde Ambition tour, and then he married the love of his life, Cindy, and moved onto the corporate business world.

During his time as a businessman, he was instrumental in mergers and acquisitions and held positions such as CEO and VP of marketing for several companies, including Landmark General, At-A-Glance, MeadWestvaco and ACCO Brands.

John retired in late 2013 and, while he enjoyed the slow pace of retirement, he was always highly intelligent and still liked to challenge himself. After retiring, he spent his time doing consulting work for friends and revisiting his old passion of theater. He spent the summer months doing shows at

the Glimmer Globe Theatre in Cooperstown, and especially enjoyed performing in Shakespeare plays.

In addition to being a thespian, John was a dedicated runner, avid reader, political enthusiast, and lifelong music lover. He was a human rights advocate and had a fantastic sense of humor.

He used his diverse and extensive life experiences to become a well-rounded leader and mentor to all who knew him, and will forever be remembered for his compassionate, empathetic spirit.

John was predeceased by his parents, Jim and Virginia Draper of Memphis, Tennessee; and is mourned by his beloved wife, Cindy Zickmund Draper; daughters, Natalie Draper of North Windham, Connecticut, Joanna Draper of Richfield Springs and Savanah Puckett of West Fork, Arkansas; sister, Judy Draper of Greenfield, Massachusetts; and brother, Bob Draper of Taos, New Mexico. He had five grandchildren; six nieces and nephews and countless friends all over the world, and will be dearly missed by all.

PERTH, Canada - Lincoln passed away peacefully in Perth, Ontario, Canada, at the age of 91.

He was predeceased by his father, Cleveland; mother, Birdall (Pearsall); and all seven of his older siblings.

He is survived by his son, Michael and Millie of Stamford; daughter, Amy and Rod Harris of Canada; six grandchildren; eight greatgrandchildren; and his second wife, Diane.

Born and raised in Manorkill, affectionately called PeeWee, he was no small man on the sport venues. A Gilboa Central School, class of '47 graduate, he went to play semi-pro baseball in Homer. He then enlisted in the U.S. Army, where he became a catcher and a helicopter pilot. He flew in Korea as well as missions in Columbia. He then moved his young family to Ottawa, Canada, where he continued to fly choppers for private and government companies.

He was a basketball official for 40 years and a Carleton University grad of economics.

He had an illustrious baseball coaching career in Ottawa, winning three Canadian National Championships, nine Provincial Tittles, and 15 City Tittles, as well as the ACT Travelers Team of the year. In 1992, they named a baseball park after him. He was a mentor to so many young men.

Bird hunting, fishing and

apple pie always brought him great joy. He loved his Brittany springer spaniels and every October, he would come down to New York state to hunt with family and friends. He hunted pheasants and grouse until he was 89. He loved sitting on his son Michael's porch in South Gilboa, staring at his beloved Catskill Mountains, reminiscing with family, friends, and all his nieces and nephews throughout Delaware and Schoharie counties. He had a quick dry wit and a keen sense of humor. He loved the reunions, both school and family.

Dad, you will be deeply missed. You taught me so much. I love you old pal.

SUN CITY, Ariz.

Gertrude Ann Filupeit, 92, peacefully died April 16, 2021, at The Gardens of Sun City.

Born Gertrud Ann Stoltz on Dec. 14, 1928, in RhedaWiedenbruck in Germany, Ann lived there until she married WWII American soldier, Albert August Filupeit in 1948. Their marriage ended 51 years later upon his death in 2009. The newlywed couple had moved to the United States where they raised their children, Donald Albert Filupeit and Patricia Filupeit Hoffman, residing in New York; Massachusetts; Newfoundland, Canada; California; Feltwell, England; Nebraska and Wyoming, where Ann lived for more than 53 years until moving to Arizona in 2016.

Ann spent most of her working life in the health care industry, starting as a certified nursing assistant with Cheyenne Regional Medical Center and De Paul hospitals in Cheyenne, Wyoming and eventually retiring as a principal homemaker for Social Services for the State of Wyoming.

Beloved by family, col-

leagues, friends and clients alike, Ann lived with a cando attitude and a deep love and commitment to helping all those who had the pleasure of knowing her.

She is survived by her children; two sisters-in-law, Elfrieda Stoltz and Hazel Filupeit; a daughter-in-law, Joyce Filupeit; five grandchildren; and six greatgrandchildren.

A family service is planned for late spring in Margaretville, where her remains will be interred.

Donations to Hospice of the Valley in Sun City, Arizona, are greatly encouraged.

MILFORD - Frances E. "Casey" Ives, who served for many years as a registered nurse at Fox Hospital in Oneonta, sadly passed away Saturday morning, April 17, 2021, at Bassett Medical Center in Cooperstown. At the age of 96 she almost beat COVID-19.

Born May 22, 1924, in Hopedale, Massachusetts, she was a daughter of Alfred Joseph Howarth and Violet Turner Howarth.

Raised in Massachusetts, she moved with her family as a teenager to New Jersey. After graduating from high school she attended Bates College in Lewiston, Maine and earned a bachelor's degree.

In 1948 she married Fred Jones and moved to Wisconsin.

After their marriage ended in divorce, Frances came back East to live with her parents in Delaware County where they had a large horse farm in Fergusonville.

Realizing she needed to make a career for herself, Frances enrolled at Columbia University School of Nursing in New York City and graduated in 1958 as a registered nurse.

She returned to the Oneonta area and was employed for many years at A.O. Fox Memorial Hospital.

It was there that she received her nickname, "Casey." At the time, her last name was Jones, and because of her quick ways and mannerisms, a patient called her "Casey Jones" and the name stuck. In her retirement, she continued caring for people and helped out at The Meadows in Cooperstown.

Never one to sit idle, Casey had many hobbies and interests throughout her life. A talented and excellent seamstress, she was an avid quilter, spun her own wool, and created museum quality reproduction

Kathryn "Kay" Ives Sept. 5, 1941 - April 20, 2021

clothing for various historical periods. She also enjoyed other types of craft work and had a large collection of antique dolls. From her time spent on her parents' farm, she grew to understand and appreciate horses, and became especially proficient at riding side-saddle. Casey truly lived life to the fullest.

Casey is survived by her daughter, Patty Lyon and husband, Steven of Arnold Lake; two sons, Perry and David Jones; stepchildren Julie, Susan, Charles, Ralph, Dick, James, Betty and Tim; and many grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

She was predeceased by her second husband, Charles Ives; and sister, Ruth Haynes.

Because of the on-going pandemic that has touched her family's life, there will be no gathering or services.

For now, please remember the times spent with Casey, her spunkiness and go-getter personality, smile, and know that she is at peace.

As a way to honor Casey's life, please consider a memorial donation to Hartwick Fire Department Company No. 2, 4877 State Highway 28, Hartwick Seminary, NY 13326.

Arrangements are under the care and guidance of the Connell, Dow & Deysenroth Funeral Home in Cooperstown.

BAINBRIDGE - Kathryn "Kay" Ives, 79, of Bainbridge, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, April 20, 2021, at Mercy House in Endicott.

She was born Sept. 5, 1941, in Brockport, the daughter of the late William and Marjorie (Steen) Burdick.

She received her degree in accounting from Harpur College (SUNY Binghamton) in June 1963.

Then, on July 20, 1963, she married David Ives. Together, they were the definition of the family farm. Her work ethic was second to none. Kay was the feeder in the barn, feeding cows and calves twice a day for decades. Her work continued when barn chores were done. She was the farm accountant, always finding a way to pay the bills when the farm economy was challenging. She passed on the family tradition of freezing sweet corn to many generations to come. Kay's homemade chocolate chip cookies were a family favorite and she always said they disappeared too fast.

Kay is survived by her son, Mark and daughter-inlaw, Crystal; son, Tom; sister and brother-in-law, Betty and Bob Vetter; brotherin-law and sister-in-law, Roger and Nancy Ives; sister-in-law, Dawn Ives; former brother-in-law, Roland Pimm; grandsons, Philip

(Cadi), Adam, Zachary and Brent; granddaughters, Shelby and Abigail; and many nieces and nephews.

She was predeceased by her parents; husband, David; sisters, Marilee and Evelyn; brothers, Richard and Greg; brother-in-law, Alan; and daughter-in-law, Kellie.

Friends were to call from 2 to 5 p.m., Saturday, April 24, at C.H. Landers Funeral Chapel, 21 Main St., Sidney.

Burial will be private in Yaleville Cemetery.

In lieu of flowers, donations in Kay's memory may be made to Mercy House, 212 N. McKinley Ave. Endicott, NY 13760.

Arrangements are under the direction of C.H. Landers Funeral Chapel, Sidney.

L SCHENEVUS - "I can't wait to meet Jesus!" These are the words she often spoke that now give us comfort as we announce the death of Patricia D. (Seward) Leon, 79, on April 10, 2021.

Patty was a devoted Christian who spent most mornings singing those church hymns that would cause her to close her eyes and smile, her lovely alto voice on key, remembering every word learned so many years ago.

Born on Aug. 10, 1941, at A.O. Fox Hospital in Oneonta, Patty would soon learn to play the piano and French horn, and it was music that would remain with her all her life after her memory failed to remember what may have happened yesterday.

Her love of trees, birds and the glorious mountains that were her view from her Schenevus home would often stir up memories of the childhood spent at her parents' home in Colliersville, the days at their camp on Crumbhorn Mountain, and how she and her two sisters would play at her father's quarry, which was and is to this day, Seward Sand & Gravel.

Patricia Diane (Seward) Leon

Lawrence J. Levinson

Aug. 10, 1941 - April 10, 2021

Aug. 3, 1944 - April 5, 2021

Soon she would leave childhood behind, become a college graduate, earn a Black Belt in karate, and bear two children, Julianna and Noah.

Living in New York City brought many career choices, including working at American Book Company, Litton Industries, YWCA, Donahue Sales, Harper & Row, Community Gospel Church, Marble Collegiate Church, and the Department of Motor Vehicles in the financial district in Manhattan, where she would find herself and thousands of others running for their lives on 9/11.

On July 14, 1979, Patty married John Leon Jr., and they lived in an apartment in Greenpoint, Brooklyn.

Soon they would close on a weekend home in Schenevus. Patty moved permanently to the area in the summer of 2008, with John continuing to work in the city, coming home on weekends, until finally retirement brought them the peace and tranquility that had been sought after so many years of the ups and downs of life.

Patty was a member of the Church of the Holy Spirit in

Schenevus, as well as the Order of Ecumenical Franciscans. She would compile an extraordinary library of bibles and stuffed animals, all of which brought her the pleasure of knowing that if anyone was in need, she could and would provide.

Patty was not perfect, but she ultimately owned up to mistakes made in this life and handed herself over to Jesus. And in Him she found the forgiveness, love and salvation she had been searching for all her life.

And now she is at peace.

Patricia is survived by her husband of 41 years, John Leon Jr. of Schenevus and her sister, Rebecca Seward of Vernon.

She was predeceased by her parents, Clifford (Skip) and Rachel (Patrick) Seward; sister, Marita Boullata and infant brother, Peter.

Also surviving are Patty's children, Julianna and Noah Harris; and niece and nephews, Joseph, Peter, David and Barbara Boullata.

She is mourned by several special caregivers, friends and neighbors who will always remember her smile and her friendship.

Services were to be held Thursday, April 15, at the

Episcopal Church of the Holy Spirit, 5 Arch St. in Schenevus. Visitation was to begin at noon and the funeral service at 1 p.m. with the Rev. Nancy Trucott officiating. Interment was to follow in Glenwood Cemetery, Oneonta.

Donations may be made to Susquehanna SPCA, 4841 State Highway 28, Cooperstown, NY 13326 or Episcopal Church of the Holy Spirit, P.O. Box 354, Schenevus, NY 12155.

Arrangements are with Heller & Skinner Funeral Home, 155 Main St., Worcester.

To Those Whom I love & Those Who Love Me When I am gone, release me, let me go.

I have so many things to see and do, You mustn’t tie yourself to me with too many tears, But be thankful we had so many good years.

I gave you my love, and you can only guess How much you’ve given me in happiness.

I thank you for the love that you have shown, But now it is time I traveled on alone.

So grieve for me a while, if grieve you must, Then let your grief be comforted by trust.

It is only for a while that we must part, So treasure the memories within your heart.

I won’t be far away for life goes on.

And if you need me, call and I will come.

Though you can’t see or touch me, I will be near.

And if you listen with your heart, you’ll hear, All my love around you soft and clear.

And then, when you come this way alone, I’ll greet you with a smile and a ‘Welcome Home.’

In our hearts We thought of you with love today, But that is nothing new.

We thought about you yesterday And days before that too.

We think of you in silence.

We often speak your name.

Now all we have is memories And your picture in a frame.

Your memory is our keepsake, With which we’ll never part.

God has you in his keeping.

We have you in our heart.

By Rose de Leon

Do Not Stand at My Grave and Weep Do not stand at my grave and weep, I am not there, I do not sleep.

I am a thousand winds that blow.

I am the diamond glint on snow.

I am the sunlight on ripened grain.

I am the gentle autumn rain.

When you wake in the morning hush, I am the swift, uplifting rush Of quiet birds in circling flight.

I am the soft starlight at night.

gone but never forgotten

Do not stand at my grave and weep.

I am not there, I do not sleep.

Do not stand at my grave and cry.

I am not there, I did not die!

Remember Me

Psalm 23 The Lord is my Shepherd

To the living, I am gone, To the sorrowful, I will never return, To the angry, I was cheated, But to the happy, I am at peace, And to the faithful, I have never left.

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.

I cannot speak, but I can listen.

I cannot be seen, but I can be heard.

So as you stand upon a shore gazing at a beautiful sea, As you look upon a flower and admire its simplicity, Remember me.

He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.

He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod

Remember me in your heart: Your thoughts, and your memories, Of the times we loved, The times we cried, The times we fought, The times we laughed.

For if you always think of me, I will never have gone.

and thy staff they comfort me.

Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.

M Helen Winnie Mulligan April 13, 1919 - March 15, 2021 COOPERSTOWN - Helen Winne Mulligan passed away on March 15, 2021, at the age of 101, following a full and healthy life.

Helen was born Helen Smith, on April 13, 1919, in the Town of Exeter and grew up in Schuyler Lake.

She was the daughter of E. Frank Smith and Hazel Pratt Smith, the fifth of six children. Helen had three older brothers, an older sister, and a younger sister.

The oldest boy, Eugene, drowned when he was 9 years old. Helen's mother died when Helen was 6 years old. Her father was left with five children, ages 13, 11, 9, 6 and 2. The two oldest, Francis and Glenn quit school to help their father with his coal, feed and grain business Helen's older sister, Margaret, who was 9, helped with the housework and the cooking. For two years after her mother died, Helen spent the winter months with her aunt and uncle a few miles away.

Helen's brothers, Francis and Glenn, served during W.W.II. When they returned, Francis worked as a bus driver and Glenn became a chef. Helen's older sister, Margaret, married and had six children. Margaret died when she was 38. Catherine (Catherine Smith Van Allen) her younger sister, who lived in Richfield Springs, had four children. Helen remained

close to her sister and her nieces and nephews.

In high school, Helen was a star basketball player and a serious student. She loved to go to dances and would sometimes go with her brother; in those days, you had to go with someone, when going to a dance.

Helen met Lewis Winne in her high school years.

They were married on April 23, 1939, and raised two daughters and a son, Carol, Bob and Kay. Lewis was a butcher for the Clark family of Cooperstown and for the Grand Union. He then worked at the Cooperstown Post Office for 32 years before his retirement. Lewis enjoyed hunting, fishing and playing sports.

Through the years, Helen and her family lived in the same house that they purchased in 1950 on Route 28 in Fly Creek.

Lewis and Helen enjoyed going out for dinner, dancing and playing cards. They also played golf and in the winter months and cross country skied.

Helen was always active.

Her hobbies included gardening (roses), golf, traveling, dancing and cooking.

She always loved to try out new recipes.

She was also on a bowling team that sometimes traveled to tournaments. Helen took up golf when she was 45 and loved the game.

Helen worked as a beauti-

cian and had her own business in her home.

Helen and Lewie always had a huge garden, growing "organic" veggies long before that term was fashionable. They raised many animals, cows (for milk and butter), sheep, pigs, chickens and turkeys. That was the food supply for the family.

Sadly, Helen's husband, Lewis, died in October 1992, following a long illness. Her friends and family encouraged her to travel and she went with a group of women to Europe, sailing on the QE2. Helen also took trips to Hawaii and Mexico.

Sometime after Lewis passed away, Helen attended a Leatherstocking Golf Course cocktail party and enjoyed socializing with an old friend and acquaintance, Bob "RJ" Mulligan. A special bond developed, they started dating and then, later, taking trips together with RJ's daughter and husband. RJ proposed and even asked Helen's kids if they thought it was alright to marry. Helen and RJ were married by Father Roos on Oct. 27,1997. They had a wonderfully big wedding celebration with all of their families.

They were devoted to each other and had many happy times. They loved dancing, going out for dinner, playing golf and traveling. RJ passed away Aug. 12, 2017, at the age of 90.

When asked what they loved about Helen, staff from Woodside Hall, where she resided during her final years, said she was a "firecracker" and a "spitfire."

Her family agrees.

Helen had a lacerating wit, a sharp sense of humor, a profound zest for life and a deep, abiding love of family. She loved to host and attend parties. She enjoyed a nightly cocktail until she was more than 100.

She made new friends at every stage of her life. She gave her family the gift of her time: she was front and center at every birthday party, holiday gathering, graduation and special occasion and she was also there for countless Sunday dinners and casual conversations. She danced at the weddings of two of her great-grandchildren and wore out her dance partners.

Helen was a fiercely competitive athlete, first on the high school basketball court and then for the rest of her life on the golf course, but she always practiced good sportsmanship first.

She was a force of nature with boundless energy, a larger-than-life whirling dervish with a laugh and a grin, who always found herself at the center of the action. She was a source of great strength and support to every member of her family.

Helen is survived by her daughter, Carol Butts and her husband, Tom; son, Robert Winne and his wife, Roz; daughter, Kay Pierro and her husband, Bob. Helen, aka Gram, was adored by her grandchildren and is survived by Tricia Rowley and her husband, Mark, Michael Chase and his wife, Sharon, John Butts and his wife, Laurie, Lisa Winne, Tom Winne, Matthew Winne and his wife, Jeni, Kara Winne Massey and her husband, Chris, Adam Lewis Hurtubise and his wife, Lisa, Kim Piero Donaldson, and her husband, Matt and Josh Pierro and his wife, Greta.

Helen, aka GG, was loved and admired by her 19 great-grandchildren, Kristopher, Alex, Luke, Katie, Quincey, Allison, Wyatt, Nick, Ben, Violet, James, Tyler, Brendan, Daniel, Olivia-Helen, Marley, Kristen, Anika and Leila; and four great-greatgrandchildren, Kyrie, Jacob, Adalyn and Oliver.

Helen is further survived by the Mulligan family including RJ's children, Rob Mulligan (since deceased), Shawn Mulligan and his wife, Susan, Michael Mulligan and his wife, Susan, Kit Mulligan Byrd and her husband, Michael; and many of RJ'.s grandchildren. Helen is also survived by several loving nieces and nephews.

She was predeceased by her husbands, Lewis and

Robert; son-in-law, Don Chase; granddaughter, Kathleen Chase; and siblings, Eugene, Francis and Glenn Smith, Margaret Wells and Catherine Van Allen.

Helen believed in God and the power of prayer. She was always proud of her Irish heritage and cherished her family and the love they had for each other.

Please consider a donation to the Fly Creek Emergency Squad or the Activities Fund at Woodside Hall. To honor Helen please plant some flowers, dance the next one and hug a child.

Calling hours were to be held from 4:30 to 7 p.m. Friday, May 14, at Tillapaugh Funeral Home, Cooperstown. A Mass of Christian Burial was to be celebrated

by Father Michael G. Cambi at St. Mary's "Our Lady of the Lake" Roman Catholic Church, Cooperstown at 1 p.m., Saturday, May 15.

COVID protocols (masks, distancing and number permitted) will be observed. ~~~ "When Irish eyes are smiling Sure, tis like the morn in Spring In the lilt of Irish laughter You can hear the angels sing."

P Elizabeth Ann Perazone Nov. 12, 1930 - March 29, 2021 YARMOUTH, Maine - Elizabeth Ann "Bette" (Davis) Perazone passed peacefully on March 29, 2021, while in residency at Bay Square Assisted Living in Yarmouth, Maine.

Born in the Bronx, on Nov. 12, 1930, to Fred and Mabel Davis, the Davis family moved to Teaneck, New Jersey, while Bette was a young girl. Bette graduated from Teaneck High School and later Centenary College for Women.

In 1951, Bette married Edward Perazone while Ed was in the U.S. Army. The Perazones moved to Phenix City, Alabama, while Ed was stationed at Ft. Benning and upon Ed's discharge, moved to Paramus, New Jersey, where they settled down to start a family. They later relocated to Upper Saddle River, New Jersey and finally to Roxbury in 1971, where Bette and Ed would remain for the rest of their lives.

They had many friends and were part of the fabric of the local community.

Bette was a world class homemaker and doting mother having raised three sons. She was an equally doting and inspirational grandmother to her eight grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren, all of whom adored her.

Bette often volunteered for charitable causes including the American Cancer Society, Margaretville Hospital Auxiliary and St. Margaret's Episcopal Church where she and Ed were longtime parishioners.

Bette and Ed enjoyed traveling and went on frequent ski trips to Europe after Ed retired. Summers at their lake house in Maine were filled with frequent visits by their family and close friends.

22

Bette especially enjoyed cooking, gardening, shopping for clothing and shoes (Ed had to build a shoe rack to hold the multitude of Bette's shoes), and spending Ed's money! — especially on jewelry! You could say that Bette elevated shopping to an Olympic level! Bette and Ed celebrated 66 years of marriage in 2017, the year Ed passed.

Bette and is survived by her sons, Stephen Perazone (Jennifer) of Portland, Maine, David Perazone (Kim) of Raymond, Maine and Brian Perazone (Ruthann) of Roxbury; as well as eight grandchildren, (Lisa, Brian Jr., Kristina, Angela, Anthony, Tracey, Kerri and August); and eight great-grandchildren (Noah, Lillian, Brooklyn, Oliviana, Ainsley, Ellie, Will and Quinn).

She was predeceased by husband, Edward Perazone; and granddaughter, Brianna Perazone.

A celebration of life will be held at the convenience of the family.

R Clyde E. Rutherford Aug. 7, 1938 - April 17, 2021 MONROE TOWNSHIP, N.J. - Clyde Eugene Rutherford, formerly of Otego, passed away peacefully on April 17, 2021, in Monroe Township, New Jersey.

Born at A.O. Fox Hospital, Oneonta, on Aug. 7, 1938, he was the son of Alexander T. and Eudora M. (Gesell) Rutherford. He spent his early years in Franklin, on the family dairy farm.

He attended Delaware Literary Institute in Franklin where he was an active member of Future Farmers of America and excelled in football, basketball and baseball. He played trumpet in the band and was an "occasional" visitor to the principal's office especially in the spring, so the principal didn't have to watch baseball games alone.

After graduating in 1956, he enlisted in the United States Marine Corps. He said he needed to learn discipline and leadership skills. The lessons he learned in the USMC were the foundation for the rest of his life. He served in the Mediterranean on the USS Olmstead and was involved in Operation Blue Bat in July 1958. While deployed in Lebanon, he was promoted to corporal. He received several honors including medals as a USMC Sharpshooter for both rifles and pistols. When he returned stateside, he remained in the Marine Corps Reserves and was honorably discharged in July 1962.

On July 17, 1960, he mar-

24

ried his high school sweetheart and the "girl next door," Jeannette E. Haney at the United Methodist Church in Franklin. For nearly 61 years to come they were inseparable.

They started life in a small apartment in Oneonta while Clyde dreamed of becoming a dairy farmer and slowly, they saved money to buy a dairy farm of their own.

In March of 1963 they purchased a farm in Otego they called O-T-Go Valley Farm. For the next 45 years they built and maintained one of the loveliest dairy farms in the state. The farm was named a Dairy of Distinction in 1983, one of the first to receive such an honor in New York. They received the highest score possible. Clyde also took a section of the farm and created O-T-Go Valley Housing Development. Many will remember their wonderful Christmas lights and decorations that they enjoyed sharing with everyone in the spirit of holidays.

Clyde led an active life locally, regionally and nationally. In Otego, he served on the town planning board, as PTA president and Unatego Central School Board of Education member and president until 1983. He was honored by both the towns of Otego and Unadilla as the Unatego Person of the Millennium in 2000.

All the while he was becoming more involved in

MAY, 2021 | LOVE & REMEMBRANCE ~ THE DAILY STAR

Dairylea Cooperative. He served as a delegate and on the Resolutions Committee, then was elected to the board of directors in 1973.

Two years later he was named treasurer. In the fall of 1978, he was elected the youngest president to lead Dairylea. He later also became chairman of the board in 1989. He was synonymous with the company and was "Mr. Dairylea" to many. He led the company through some very dark days and into the time when it became the largest dairy cooperative in the Northeast. He worked tirelessly to improve the livelihood of not only Dairylea members but for all farmers.

He was a guest lecturer at Harvard Business School and Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania.

What he and the Dairylea team accomplished is still studied in business schools today.

Clyde served the dairy industry on numerous boards and committees including Dairy Farmers of America (Executive Committee), National Milk Producers Federation (First Vice Chairman), National Livestock Producers Association (Vice Chairman), Dairy One (Vice Chairman), U.S. Dairy Export Council, Innovation Center for US Dairy, Empire Livestock Marketing and Blue Cross-Blue Shield of Central New York and many more.

Additionally, Clyde

chaired the National Dairy Commission and served as chair of the National Farm Bill. The boy who was sent to the principal's office because he would not stand in front of class to give a speech, grew into a man who would speak before hundreds, testify before Congress and worked with governors and presidents on numerous occasions for the benefit of dairy farmers.

Over his career he was honored with many awards and recognition for his work. Among them are National Milk Producers Federation Hall of Fame Award, Distinguished Service Citation from the New York State Agricultural Society, Richard Lyng Award from National Dairy Board, Tom Camerlo Leadership Award (given in honor of his good friend) and the "Pride of Dairylea" Award.

Clyde officially retired from Dairylea in April 2012.

Those who knew him know he enjoyed driving, anywhere and everywhere, but especially to go meet with dairy farmers. He and Jeannette loved to travel.

They started traveling from the time they were married and made sure their two daughters visited all 50 states and beyond. A highlight was a summer long trip to Alaska in 1973 and driving the Alaska Highway to Fairbanks when it was only a dirt road. Together they saw the world from Europe to Australia.

Clyde's greatest love was

his family.

He is survived by his devoted wife, Jeannette Rutherford of Monroe Township, New Jersey; loving daughters, Diane and her husband, E. David Krol II and Nancy and her husband, Michael Gorelick; beloved grandchildren, Emily and Allison Gorelick and Alexandra and John Krol; sister, Mary Jane Beers; as well as sisters and brothers-in-law and many nieces, nephews and grandnieces and grand-nephews.

He was also very blessed with wonderful friends near and far.

He was predeceased by his two brothers, Donald and Raymond.

Visitation was to be at 10 a.m., May 1, at Franklin United Methodist Church, 475 Main St., Franklin. Funeral services were to be at 11 a.m., May 1, at Franklin United Methodist Church, 475 Main St., Franklin. Burial was to follow in the family plot in Ouleout Cemetery, Franklin.

Those who wish may make memorial donations to the Franklin American Legion, 327 Main St., P.O. Box 24, Franklin, NY 13775, in Clyde's name.

All guests planning to attend are required to wear masks and abide by social distancing guidelines.

Arrangements are by the Kenneth L. Bennett Funeral Home, Franklin.

STUART, Fla. - As God gently embraced him and guided him home, James Alan "Al" Sloan peacefully left us on April 1, 2021.

Please share with us a glimpse of the life we celebrate.

Al was born in Stamford, on July 7, 1931, son of Roy and Katherine (Hastings) Sloan. He grew up in Davenport and attended Jefferson Central School.

Al was an avid NASCAR and racing enthusiast. He dabbled in drag racing and he loved hearing of his grandson's wins on the dirt tracks.

Al spent years working alongside his father, Roy, at Sloan's Esso Station in Oneonta's East End. He also worked with his brother, Bob, helping him run Bob's restaurant, the Ranch House.

Al was a member of Oneonta Elks Lodge 1312.

Most of all, Al will be remembered by many for his love of life.

Al was a proud father to his children with his first wife, Betty (Collins) Sloan, daughters; Dayle Liberatore, Kathy (John) Wilber, Tracy (Lee) Young and Laurie Stewart and son; James Alan "Jim" Sloan II. Each remained close in his heart despite the miles between them.

While he was proud of his entire family, he really found great joy in following his grandchildren. Whether FaceTime chats or talking on the phone about next chapters, reading notes, emails or sharing pictures, looking for advice on the best horses or jockeys to bet on, hearing about the newest great-grandchild to arrive, car racing results, bowling scores or enjoying the latest entrepreneur ventures, he found so much joy in sharing all of their jour-

neys.

Al left the mountains of New York for the beaches of Florida in the early 80's, but returned to visit Oneonta often with his devoted wife, Nancy.

Al's faith, humor and optimistic attitude carried him through to his final days.

Al is survived by his loving wife, Nancy (Johnson) Sloan; siblings, Jan Ballard, Bruce (Jane) Sloan and Barbara (George) Stoehr; sister -in-law, Alice Sloan; five children; 11 grandchildren; 16 great-grandchildren; and many nieces and nephews.

Al has been reunited with his parents; sister, Shirley (died as an infant); brother, Robert "Bob" and brother-in -law, Rodney "Stub" Ballard. Al was also predeceased by his wives, Betty (Maloney) Sloan and Mary Rose (Baer) Sloan.

No matter our relationship with Al, we are all a different version of the same story, a life well-lived. Our memories and love are an embrace that transcends the infiniteness that separates us and will forever keep you in our hearts.

An outside garden service will be determined at a later date.

Donations may be made to Peace Presbyterian Church, P.O. Box 1628, Port Salerno, FL 34992.

Always one to stay busy,

winters in Sanibel and summers on Long Island allowed Michele and him to volunteer at many different local theater and art venues. Their social life centered around days at the beach with friends. Dick kept his sense of humor to the very end, making jokes and sharing happy hour with his daughters during his last months. You would be hard-pressed to find anyone who did not love Dick, his quiet unassuming manner, and his positive outlook In lieu of flowers, please consider donations to your local animal shelter, Memorial Sloan Kettering Hospital or Good Shepherd Hospice, in his honor.

T Bruno A. Talevi

James Palmer Thomas

Aug.16, 1925 - April 3, 2021 COOPERSTOWN - Bruno A. Talevi, still looking fit in his World War II Navy uniform, departed this life and went to grasp the hand of the Lord on April 3, 2021.

"Paw-Paw" as his beloved grandchildren dubbed him, was born in New York City on Aug. 16, 1925, the son of Peter and Rose Talevi.

He grew up on the streets of New York and Long Island, playing stickball, Johnny-on-the-Pony and pinball.

He graduated from Benjamin Franklin High School at the age of 16 years. After his graduation, he worked for the Office of Strategic Services, a predecessor to the Central Intelligence Agency, an agency of the federal government formed for the purpose of obtaining information about and sabotaging the military efforts of enemy nations during World War II. Bruno joined the Navy as soon as he turned 18 years old. He was assigned to the signal corps of the Navy, assisting in the transmission of messages by teletype in the South Pacific. Although a devoted member of the military, and loyal to his country, he was saddened by the horrific results of the dropping of the atomic bombs at Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

After receiving an honorable discharge from the Navy, Bruno returned to the United States, and met a beautiful young lady, Vera A. Careccio, to whom he was married on Aug. 22, 1948.

The GI Bill enabled Bruno to attend St. John's University from which he graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in business administration in 1950.

He chose to work for a small accounting firm in

28

New York City for three years, and then moved to Oneonta, where he opened his accounting practice, which grew to be the largest accounting practice in three counties.

He retired in 1986 after moving to Cooperstown with Vera. He was the personal confidant to Walter Rich, president of the Delaware and Otsego Railroad, for many years.

Bruno also was very active in both Oneonta and Cooperstown. He served on the Oneonta City Planning Board and was chairman of the Otsego County Planning Board for many years. He served for years as a Boy Scout leader while his two sons went up the ladder and became Eagle Scouts, and he was a member of the Office of the Aging Advisory Council for Otsego County.

He was a member of the Junior Chamber of Commerce for the City of Oneonta, served as chairman of the finance committee for St. Mary's Parish in Cooperstown, and joined the Service Corps of Retired Executives to provide free mentoring and consultation services to budding entrepreneurs.

He enjoyed teaching accounting at Hartwick College, and for the first five minutes of each class, he led a discussion on the importance of being kind, loving and respectful to your fellow man.

He was a member of the Cooperstown Country Club, Kiwanis Club in Oneonta and the Cooperstown Rotary Club, where he was a Paul Harris fellow. He was a volunteer for Bassett Hospital and a member of the Friends of Bassett.

Even after his passing, Bruno continued to give, as he asked to have his body

MAY, 2021 | LOVE & REMEMBRANCE ~ THE DAILY STAR

donated to the Albany Medical College for research.

He was asked by Peter Macris, a founder of the Glimmerglass Opera, whether opera would be viable in Cooperstown — and that was the beginning of the Glimmerglass Opera in Cooperstown where he donated many hours of in-kind service.

Bruno enjoyed traveling with his lifelong love, Vera.

Italy was his favorite destination. He was fluent in Italian and Italian nationals were often surprised after conversing with him in Italian that he was not born and raised in Italy. Research by the Institute of Genealogy found that there were five bishops in his family going back to the l3th Century. His family flourished during the Malatesta reign.

Despite his big city origin, Bruno became a proficient backyard gardener and enjoyed sharing his harvest with friends. For recreation, Bruno could be found on the racquetball court, the golf course or a tennis court.

Bruno always had a friendly greeting with a broad smile.

He loved life and was happy and comfortable in his home on Otsego Lake with Vera.

His parents; two brothers, Henry and Armando; sister, Deena; and nephew, Peter predeceased Bruno.

Left to cherish his memory are his loving wife of 72 years; sons, Robert Bruce (Margaret) of Hopewell Junction and Steven James of Richfield Springs; and the apples of his eye, Jennifer Anne Talevi of Paris, France, and Christopher Anthony Talevi of Lynchburg, Virginia; as well as his nieces, Barbara Zacchi (Bill) and Deborah Oram (Bill), and their children, Justin Zacchi and Chelsea Oram.

An avid reader, she would wile away many hours totally engrossed in a good book.

She was a passionate writer. Forgoing writing as a career to be a stay home mother of four, she wrote many, many stories, poems and journals just for her own entertainment. She was also a passionate singer.

She loved to belt out a tune, from harmonizing "bawdy" songs early in the morning with Martin, to harmonizing popular radio tunes with Matthew and Cully in the station wagon, any time they found themselves in transit.

Maisha adored Hershey bars, black coffee, smoking cigarettes and her grandchildren. She lovingly referred to them as "brats" and taught them all how to "smoke" candy cigarettes.
