Burton L. Yates Sr, 86, passed away after a long battle with cancer on Monday (May 4, 2026) at Olean General Hospital.

He was born July 9, 1939 in Olean, NY, the son of the late Sydney and Beatrice (Sherman) Yates.

He graduated from Richburg Central School.

After spending many years working at Hysol and the Olean Times Herald, Burton retired from Bolivar Richburg Central School bus garage. He then spent his time as a dedicated volunteer working at the Solid Rock Community Center. He was also an active member of Faith Bible Church where he enjoyed serving coffee on Sunday mornings.

Burton is survived by his 5 loving children - Darla (Barry) Rockefeller, Barb (Don) Rockefeller, Tammy (Joe) Blauvelt, Alan (Lara) Yates, and David (Jaime) Gleason - who lovingly cared for him during his last days. Burton is also survived by a daughter-in-law Cindy Yates, 22 grandchildren, 27 great-grandchildren, and was looking forward to the arrival of 3 more great-grandchildren this year.

He showed his love and support for them all by attending as many sporting activities and important life events as possible.

Burton was predeceased by his devoted wife of 37 years, Nancy (Barber) Yates, as well as two sons, Burton Lee Yates Jr. and Terrance Yates.

Allison Lee Goodliff
Husband, Father, Grandfather


Allison Lee Goodliff, 75, of Cuba, passed away Saturday, May 9, 2026 at Buffalo General Hospital after a short illness.

Born on June 6, 1950, in Cuba, he was a son of Joseph and Mildred (Burdick) Goodliff. On June 20, 1970, at the Friendship Baptist Church, he married the former Marilyn D. Mulkin, who survives.

Al was a 1968 graduate of Richburg Central School. Two years later he graduated from Olean Business Institute with a degree in accounting.

Al dedicated his professional life to the automotive parts industry, a journey that began right out of college as a stockboy at Tier Parts Warehouse. Through hard work, he rose to the position of Sales Representative for GPI (Car Quest) and later served several area parts stores before retiring from J&R Auto in Olean.

Al took great pride in his home, maintaining a perfectly manicured lawn that reflected his attention to detail. He spent over six decades at the bowling alley, enjoyed the freedom of the open road on his motorcycle, and spent countless hours restoring his 1982 GMC pickup or visiting car shows. While he had many hobbies, his greatest source of pride was his family; he was his children's and grandchildren's biggest fan, celebrating their every milestone with love.

He was a member and trustee of the Cuba Methodist Church.

He is survived by his wife, Marilyn; two sons Scott (Kandyce) Goodliff of Yorktown, Virgina and Michael Goodliff of Waynesboro, Virgina; two grandchildren Sarah and Logan Goodliff; a brother David Goodliff of Allegany; a sister Alexia "Lexie" (Tony) Giovanetti of Gilbertsville, PA; several nieces and nephews.

The Recapitulation sheet for the Isherwood ending quarter June 30, 1943, less than 3 months after the ship was commissioned and Morris reported for duty. There were 311 men on board, 23 had transferred, 2 honorable discharged and 1 deserted. During that time, 34 men had been absent without leave, there were 57 days that men were on solitary confinement due to court martial and 46 days because of Captain's Mast. There were 16 days sick leave due to sailor's own misconduct and 56 days sick leave not because of sailor's misconduct. The Isherwood DD520 records show who and when anyone was absent without leave, these were very trying times for these men going to war and a lot took place. All records indicate that Morris R Lyman was never absent without leave.

Theo E. Bullock Crane
Beloved Wife, Mother, Grandmother, Teacher and Friend


Theo E. Bullock Crane, of 47 Pennsylvania Avenue, Friendship, and formerly of Richburg, passed away March 15, 2026, after a courageous battle with illness, surrounded by the love of her family.

Born on August 13, 1952, in Olean, New York, she was the daughter of the late Jack and Ora Jean (Saunders) Bullock. On June 26, 2021, in Friendship, she married her beloved husband, Randy Crane, who survives. Together they shared a deep love and companionship, bringing joy and happiness to one another’s lives.

Theo was a graduate of Richburg Central School. She attended Alfred State College for undergraduate studies before earning both her Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Secondary Education from St. Bonaventure University.

Teaching was more than a career for Theo—it was her passion and her calling. She devoted 30 years to her students as a High School Biology & Chemistry teacher at Belmont Central School (now Genesee Valley Central School). Known for her dedication, patience, and ability to make even the most challenging subjects understandable, Theo touched the lives of countless students. Over the years, many fondly remembered her as their favorite teacher, grateful not only for what she taught in the classroom, but for the encouragement and care she showed to each of them.

Theo was a faithful member of the Cuba Methodist Church. She found great joy in life’s simple and meaningful moments—especially time spent with her family and dear friends. Above all, she treasured her role as a grandmother. Her granddaughters, who affectionately called her “Gaga,” were truly the light of her life, and she delighted in every moment spent with them. She was also ‘Gaga’ to many in Amy’s family, her warmth and love extending to Amy’s parents, siblings, and their children, creating cherished relationships. Theo also enjoyed braiding rugs, often sharing laughter and conversation with friends while working on her craft.

In addition to her loving husband, Randy, she is survived by her son, James, and his wife, Amy Bullock, of Indianapolis, Indiana; her two beloved granddaughters, Addison and Ayla Bullock, also of Indianapolis; her brother, John, and his wife, Marcia Bullock, of Asheville, North Carolina; her niece and nephews, Cristin, Ryan, and Sean, and their families; and her husband Randy’s daughters, Jennifer (Joe) Matta, Michelle (Tim) Hall, and Angela (Rick Emerson) Holland, and their families, who loved Theo dearly. She also shared many years with Garry Reynolds, and they remained lifelong friends. Theo cherished her many cousins and other close family members, with whom she shared countless special bonds and memories with each of them.

Friends may call at the Mark F. Rinker Funeral Home & Memorial Service, Inc., 554 S. Main Street, Bolivar, on Friday, March 20, 2026 from 2-4 and 7–9 p.m. A Memorial Service will be held on Saturday, March 21, 2026 at the Cuba Methodist Church, 49 E. Main Street, Cuba, at 11:00 a.m. The Rev. Rebecca Worth will officiate.

Theo will be remembered for her kindness, her gentle spirit, and the love she freely gave to her family, friends, and students. Her faith was an important part of her life, and she had a deep love for Jesus that guided the way she lived and cared for others. During her illness and in her final days, Theo was lovingly assisted by the caring hands of her cousin, Kathy Saunders, and Cynthia Norman of T.L. Care Homehealth Services. While she will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her, her family finds comfort in knowing she is now at peace in the presence of the Lord she loved so dearly.

“Well done, good and faithful servant.” Matthew 25:23

Her love for Jesus and her family will forever live on in our hearts.
