Livonia, NY:  At age 70, Dale passed at his home, with family by his side, on January 21, 2022.  He was born on July 10, 1951 in East Aurora, NY.  Predeceased by his father Joseph Kriedemann.   

He leaves his wife of 37 years, Mary (Cicero) Kriedemann and children; James (Jeong) Robinson of Franklin, TN, Andrea (Robert) Rafanelli of Woodstock, GA and; grandchildren, Paige, Chloe, Robert, and Mia; mother Jean Crone of Honeoye; sister Linda Kriedemann of Springwater; brothers,  Paul Kriedemann of Syracuse and Eric (Romy) Crone of Spring Valley, NY; mother-in-law Rosemary Cicero; brothers-in-law Frank Cicero (Bob Altavena) and Joseph (Cheryl) Cicero; sisters-in-law Antionette Easley and Monica (Scott) Buchan.  Dale is also survived by many nieces, nephews, neighbors, and friends.   

All those who knew Dale, knew that he always had a smile on his face and valued serving others.  As a U.S. Veteran (Army), he found his passion for helping others when he laid the foundation for  the first drug and alcohol counseling program for military personnel serving in Vietnam.  After his time in the service, he entered the Tool and Die trade, where he worked for Roehlen Engraving for nearly twenty eight years. As a member of the Steelworkers Union he demonstrated his charitableness by working for the common good within his industry. Eventually, these experiences led him to Livonia Central School, where he could be seen lending a hand, problem solving a classroom crisis, running from task to task, but best of all,sharing the insatiable smile that had the ability to brighten even the most stressful day. 

Outside of work, Dale could be seen sharing his adventurous side with his beloved wife, Mary.  Through the years, these adventures found them flying planes, riding motorcycles, and boating.  Although he enjoyed life’s adventures, he was truly a simple man. He enjoyed mowing his lawn on his John Deere, watching the Buffalo Bills, partaking in political discourse, but most importantly, he relished in his time with family and friends.  He could always be seen sitting in his recliner taking in every moment as he watched the family that he helped to build.  This was by far, his greatest accomplishment. 

A graveside service and burial will be held privately in the Summer at St. Michael’s Cemetery, Livonia, NY, with military honors.  A Celebration of Life Gathering will also be held with information to follow at a later date.  In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made in his memory to the Livingston County Hospice, 2 Murray Hill Drive, Mt. Morris, NY 14510 or the Conlon-Mulvaney American Legion Post 1779, 6317 Marshall Road, Conesus, NY 14435.  To send a condolence or share a memory please visit:  www.doughertyfuneralhomes.com

Ionia/Fairport:  Patricia Ann Philipson,  August 27, 1935 – January 1, 2022.  Patricia passed away peacefully on January 1, 2022, at Conesus Lake Nursing Home. She was 86 years old. She is survived by her children, Michael Anthony Philipson, Judith Ann Philipson Green (Scott), and Thomas William Philipson, who were by her bedside, and by Lewis and Thomas Stess Johnston, and Jesse Sutterlin, who are all “honorary sons”, and many dear friends. Her daughter, Chrisann Philipson, welcomed her into heaven.

She was born in Rochester, NY, into an Italian family and is pre-deceased by her siblings, Mary Jane and Anthony Russo and her parents, Theresa Cimo Russo and Dominick Russo.

Patty lived in Rochester, Ionia, Perinton, and Honeoye, NY. She loved going out on the boat and jet-ski, played elaborate practical jokes on her family, and created many happy memories at her beloved Harvard Cottage on Honeoye Lake. She worked a hard factory job at Crosman Arms in East Bloomfield, making BBs and BB guns. She was a consummate Euchre player, winning many championship games at the Senior Center in Perinton, and took great delight in “euchre-ing” all of her children whenever possible. She traveled the world with cruises to Barbados and the Bahamas, trips to San Francisco and Paris, and even visited Hawaii and Australia.

Above all, she had a wicked dry sense of humor which could have you rolling on the floor in laughter, or, alternately, cursing at her under your breath. Life threw challenge after challenge at her, but she carried on through all of it with great dignity and an incredible sense of style. She even earned the nickname “Hollywood” at Conesus Lake Nursing Home, where she received excellent care and true compassion by the entire staff. She loved clothes that sparkled and  had a shoe collection which once seemed to rival that of Imelda Marcos. She loved to decorate her home (orange was her favorite color!) and moved the furniture around about once a month just to “freshen things up”.

But most of all she was a Mom. She worked hard to put a roof over our heads and food in our stomachs. While sometimes too exhausted to do much else, she rubbed our bellies when sick, put butter on our burned fingers, and taught us about the consequences of our actions. Above all, she set a great example about how to rise above all life’s challenges with grace and laughter. Her presence will be sorely missed.
