Richard A. DeNise “Dick” – March 13, 2018

Honeoye: Peacefully on March 13, 2018 at age 77. Survived by his wife of 57 years, Virginia (Burton) DeNise and children; Mark (Tracy) DeNise of Newark, Julie (Charlie) Lowery of Honeoye, and Lori (Phillip) Baldauf of OH; 14 grandchildren and 24 great-grandchildren. Also survived by his brother David (Sally) DeNise, sister Betty Privitera, many nieces & nephews and friends.

Dick was born a city boy with a country heart. After serving a short tour with the Navy, he married Ginny and they settled in Honeoye where they lived and loved for the next 57 years. Together they provided a loving and nurturing home to three children, and became part of a community that would forever be where they called home. As part of that community, Dick and Ginny became active members of the United Church of Christ where he sat on the Board of Trustees, and sang bass in the choir.

For 29 years, Dick worked at Stone Construction Equipment. While there, he put to use his creative mind and his tinkering soul working in both Research and Development and as an exceptional welder. As his children grew and began their own lives, Dick found opportunities to serve his community and beyond in a number of ways.

Through NY Help he continued his trips to a small village in Honduras. His missions brought the villagers running water, a medical facility and a school. Dick also volunteered with the American Red Cross providing meals and fresh water during hurricanes Andrew and Katrina, and wherever else his help was needed.

Serving with the Coast Guard Auxiliary, Dick spent many summer weekends on Seneca Lake. His service with the Coast Guard not only provided an additional avenue to serve, it put him on the water. It was water that soothed his soul. An avid swimmer since high school, Dick swam the length of Honeoye Lake.

A devoted husband, loving father and fiercely loyal friend, there are no words to express our sorrow. His stories, his laughter, and his devotion will be greatly missed here on this earthly plane, but will live on in our hearts and memories. God called him home too soon for us, but at the right time for him. Our faith reassures us that one day, when the time is right, we will be together again.

Lena Jane Cratsley (Rowley) – March 10, 2018

Honeoye: Lena Jane (Rowley) Cratsley passed peacefully on March 10th at the age of 86. She was predeceased by Alfred, her husband of 66 years, her parents Gilbert & Annabelle Rowley, brother Gilbert Rowley and her sister, Edna Ingerick.

Fondly known as Jane, she was born in Webster on February 9, 1932. At the age of 4, her parents moved back to Richmond on Reed Road where she grew up. At the age of 16 she met Al Cratsley at a dance in Hemlock, fell in love and married at the age of 18 on June 13, 1950.

Al & Jane were a team throughout their marriage. In the early years, they owned an excavation business – installing wells, driveways, septic systems & breakwalls all the around the area. After injuring his back, Al moved onto roofing and siding. Jane learned to measure and cut shingles & siding and helped Al do the installing. Then in 1965, they opened Cratsley Bait Farm. Jane stayed home and ran the business, selling live bait & tackle and renting boats. When age would no longer let them do the roofing/siding and bait business, they closed both and went on the road selling gourmet meats door to door for Anchors Away in the southern tier and northern Pennsylvania. Jane was the navigator, remembering where all their customers were located and keeping Al from getting lost. As age and health issues took over, they stayed home and Jane became Al’s caregiver while she battled her own issues. They would enjoy playing dominoes and other games and watching college basketball.

Jane had always wanted to be a nurse so when the Richmond Fire Dept opened their company to women, she joined and became a member of the ambulance squad. For 35 years, she and Al would drop everything and run out the door to a call. Jane was always proud that she had delivered a baby. She also was elected as treasurer and held the position for 37 years and 8 years for the exempt club.

Jane enjoyed deer hunting & fishing with Al and she was very good at both. She loved the outdoors and was always found working in her garden and flowerbeds or watching her kids and grandchildren play in the yard. Visits from her grandchildren and great grandchildren were always the highlight of her day. Jane also loved to crochet and made over 30 sets of afghans/pillows and loved to crochet doilies. You could always find Jane in the kitchen baking delicious banana nut bread, kneading dough for rolls, or making a pot of soup. At harvest time she would be canning stewed tomatoes, making tomato soup, spaghetti sauce and yes of course, her famous cinnamon pickles.

Family & friends may call on Friday, March 23rd, from 4-7pm at the Kevin W. Dougherty Funeral Home Inc., 8624 Main Street, Rte 20A, Honeoye, NY where services will be held on Saturday, March 24th, at 11am. Private burial Lakeview Cemetery, Honeoye.

Clark retired in 2000 and moved back to the family homestead in Canadice with Jane. He spent his time hiking the hills at Harriet Hollister and many of the other state parks in the region with the Rovers Hiking Club.
