My memories of summers during my childhood in Gloversville in the 1960s and 70s are filled with riding my bicycle across town with friends to spend long days at Littauer Pool, exploring Melchoir and Myers parks, buying treats at Candy Kitchen with the change we found along the sidewalks and two-week stints at Camp Cramer-Burton, the day camp run jointly by the YMCA and YWCA where my big sister was an arts and crafts counselor. If it was a good year, the family would venture to Storytown in Lake George, now the much bigger Six Flags Great Escape park. If it was a really good year the family would make the further trek across the state border to Vermont.

Dennis James Butler
Dennis James Butler, 75, of Lock Haven, passed away Monday, Feb. 22, 2021 at the Williamsport Hospital.
Born Aug. 21, 1945 in Lock Haven to Boyd and Verna Dullen Butler.
On Oct. 11, 2013 after a 42-year engagement Denny married the former Diane Kinley at their daughter Colleen’s wedding rehearsal. It was a surprise to everyone that night. He said he waited so long to get married to make sure it was going to stick.
Denny attended St. Agnes Catholic School and Lock Haven High School.
Denny was a simple man not caring about the material things in life. He was more concerned about the people he loved and what he could do to help everyone around him. If there was a need that either his family or friends had he did his best to quietly fill it or find someone who could, never wanting any recognition for it. He always made time to help the older generation even as he became part of the older generation.
