Richard A. Renzoni – March 13, 2017

RichRenzoni

Cohocton: March 13, 2017 at age 62 years. Predeceased by his father Anthony Renzoni. Survived by his wife of 34 years, Naomi Renzoni and children; Emily Renzoni of SC and Zachary (Taylor) Renzoni of Corning, and his dog Bruno. Also survived by his mother Deborah Renzoni and siblings; Jerry Renzoni, Nancy Dennette (Bob Huey), Debbie (Eddie) Paul, Paul Renzoni, and Lisa Aldridge. Several nieces, one nephew, cousins, and friends.

Richard was born on September 10, 1954 in Middletown, CT. He spent his childhood between CT and NH, eventually moving to New York State viewing it as an opportunity to provide his family a better future. Rich found work in Greece, NY at Acro Industries where he continued to work until he was no longer able. Rich worked hard every day to make sure his family that he loved so dearly were always provided for; of which, his family will be forever indebted to him. Richard, often known as Dickie or Sunshine and most importantly Dad to those closest to him, was always willing to lend a helping hand to neighbors and friends alike. The inherited skills from Richard’s father Tony Renzoni gave him the uncanny knowledge base and ability to perform any type of odd job you may come across. Rich enjoyed hunting, fishing, and spending time with anyone willing to listen to him and his opinionated ways. All those he encountered will miss his voice, his laugh, and his opinions more deeply then could be expressed in words. During this time of grief and loss family and friends of Dickie’s will forever cherish the memories we have with him. He was a tough love kind of man who rarely showed how he felt, but, those who loved him knew how much he cared through his actions. Richard would never have hesitated about volunteering to concrete a basement for a neighbor, or in helping a friend to work on their car or plow their driveway so they could get to work. Dickie often did this without asking for favors or anything in return and he always took the time to help the people he cared about in the best way he knew how. Richard will be remembered for many good deeds like this; surely, too many to count. The future ahead will be a lonely one without him and his generosity towards others. We, his family, hope to see all those who are mourning him at the remembrance picnic which will be held in his honor and announced at a later date this spring.

A Friends & Family Gathering to Celebrate Richard’s Life will be held in the future a date and time to be announced. Memorial contributions may be made to the Cohocton Valley Ambulance Service, PO Box 200, Atlanta, NY 14808. To send a condolence or share a memory please visit:

Bernard A. Fischer “Bernie” “Pops” – February 25, 2017

Conesus Lake: February 25, 2017 at age 77 years. Predeceased by his parents Bernard & Orlina Fischer and his wife, Marie Fischer. Survived by his sons; Bernard “Bud” Fischer of Conesus, Mark Fischer of Ohio, and Glenn (Lesley) Fischer of Ohio. Grandchildren; Tom Donovan, Mike Donovan, Donna Marie Fischer, Donnie Fischer, Richie Fischer, Amanda Fischer, Marquelle Fischer, Drew Fischer, Cadi Fischer, and Ben Fischer. Great-granddaughter Cory Donovan. Also survived by his sister Joyce Larson of Geneseo, many other loving family and friends.

It’s difficult to reduce 77 years of life to a few words. His roots were deep and relationships were long. He had one wife, Marie. He had one employer, Xerox. He had one house that he built on Conesus Lake. He didn’t embrace change but at the same time seemed to fill his life with enough variety to keep it interesting.

His interest included Fishing, Hunting, NASCAR (Jeff Gordon), the weather, Buffalo Sabres, New York Yankees, and he suffered with much of Ohio as a diehard Cleveland Browns fan. However, all of those interests took a back seat to anything that his grandchildren were involved in. There was an unmistakable tone of joy within his voice and laugh when he was relaying stories of something one of the grandkids had done. Through the lives of his grandchildren, he experienced athletic success, enjoyed the chemistry and unique bond that comes with identical twins, academic success, military service, and countless other triumphs.

“Pops” was a good friend to many and every one of his friends has a memory full of laughs or funny stories. He knew what was right but never forced his way of thinking on others.

Friends may call on Saturday, March 4th, from 3-4pm at the Kevin W. Dougherty Funeral Home Inc., 21 Big Tree Street, Rte 20A, Livonia, NY where a service will follow calling at 4pm. Interment will be held privately. In lieu of a Memorial Contribution, take your family or a friend out to dinner and enjoy each other’s company. To send a condolence or share a memory please visit:
